i had never heard of jose until i started working in elixir. i had about two years of grueling ruby experience[0] and boy was elixir an amazing breath of fresh air.

what is also a thing is stockholm syndrome and sunk cost fallacy.

[0] ok, now that i think about it also this was when ruby was having serious 1.84-2.0 transition troubles and i had difficulty reinstalling ruby if i needed to redo the os because some python wheel broke everything, so i had other historical reasons to leave ruby with a bad taste in my mouth. i think my gripes about activerecord are real, though.
