Having done financial modelling and data analytics in Ruby: Because I like Ruby, all the other backend code in those projects was in Ruby, and most projects don't rely on data volumes where the lack of something like Polars is an issue to begin with.

Most people don't have large datasets (even many people who think they have large datasets). Some do, or require more complex supporting libraries, and I get that Ruby then often isn't practical for them, and that's fine.

But it's nice to know I now have one more option reducing my need to consider another language.
