Ruby vs. C# vs. Scala

Unit tests are written in RSpec

We use Ruby for our APIs, coupled with Rails. We also use it for scripting and other open source applications. Check out https://github.com/cotap/stacker and let us know what you think!

Most of our services are written in Ruby. We started out as a Ruby shop, but we're slowly also moving some stuff to Go. We're using Go more and more these days, actually, including some backend services.

Our de facto language, when all other considerations are equal.

Only thing worth noting here is that we saw some major issues with memory swapping on Heroku with Ruby 2.1.2. We weren’t the only ones. So we actually reverted back to 2.0.0. Here’s what happened: . We’re planning to upgrade to 2.1.4 once we’ve had time to test thoroughly.

Main programming language used for all projects around Retrospring

Jekyll is built on Ruby and its plug-ins are written in it and distributed as Gems. Great community!

Nanoc, the static site generator, is written in ruby.

Metaprogramming is necessary for less code.

Ruby is my main programming language for creating classes, modules and methods to fit my plan.

Ruby makes it fun to program! We love the object-oriented capabilities of the language, along with the amazing standard library like Enumerable. The best parts of Ruby? Bundler, RubyGems, and Rails!

The publishing of the docker images is managed by a set of Rake tasks.

7 years of Ruby development experience and project management, primarily with the Rails MVC framework.

I work with Ruby all the time, since 2011.

We use Ruby on Rails for all our web applications. Additionally, we leverage Ruby for some ETL processes and service scripts.

Fun programming, basically. I don't like RoR stack. I prefer pure Ruby App + Rack + (Sinatra/Camping framework)

The main engine of the site is a fork of Toto, a Ruby gem.

Primary server-side engine for the newer code that provides a RESTful interface is all written in Ruby.

Ruby is, with JavaScript, the main language used in DOMScope. With Rails, it handles our product's backend, from the landing page to the communication between our user's devices and their Dashboard.

Several of our applications and API servers are written using Ruby on Rails. Ruby is also used for various infrastructure tools.

For web development

Clean and easy programming language. Favourite language to learn since CSS.

My guilty pleasure and perhas even still a silent love.

Because happiness. Testing via RSpec (mostly model and request specs), Factory Girl for fixtures, VCR for testing API responses, timecop, Redcarpet for Markdown rendering, Intercom gem for posting events.

Rake for deployment to remote and testing server

Used for microservices (incl. an internal Let's Encrypt certificate manager).

We Made the Dashboard with Ruby on Rails.

Primary Language for the Back-end.

Business logic. Scripting.

Microservices, and RabbitMQ Consumers.

Ruby it's our prefered programming language

PRS UI app is built in Rails

Deployment

Rails is built on Ruby, so in the end Ruby is Rails.

expert

We use Ruby on our server in order to run Jekyll.

Most of our applications are written in Ruby/Rails for speed of development.

We are primarily a Ruby shop; our main apps are running on Ruby + Rails, our Slack bot is written in Ruby and our smaller projects are on Sinatra. It makes it really easy for us to re-use code and switch between different projects since they are all on the same language.

For scripting DevOps Tools and internal applications

Mainly worked with Ruby in the context of Ruby on Rails development.

Command-line tools, scripting, prototypes. Occasionally I'll make simple web interfaces, but I find the deployment story for Ruby apps to be more complex than just shipping a jar for personal projects.

When we are comparing Turing complete languages it's not about what compiles faster or to the cleanest machine code, it's about what the developer can think in and write faster, including the availability of libraries. A couple of times I wrote some ruby scripts for this project. I just like the language best for some things. Love the syntax.

Programmer happiness ... duh!

Human readable code, a plethora of Gems, awesome support community. My fav web app language.

Background jobs and tasks

Second choice language

No need for this. We don't use ruby (only in our self hosted gitlab EE)

C# is the most productive production language - it exposes a lot of functional conveniences along with the robustness of strong typing. And they're finally embracing the open source community - a huge plus.

#Language Features We use the basic syntax (for, foreach, if,while) and object oriented constructs (classes, very simple inheritance).

We also use lambdas and block methods extensively, an intermediate level programming construct, but in a very formulaic and predictable way.

Primarily for game and VR development. Also for one off windows client applications.

Used the MongoDB's C# driver to parse large dataset in .csv files and insert into MongoDB.

All of our code is in C#

The main Carbonmade backend / API is written in C# and is ready to run on the CLR. We currently host on Windows but are preparing to migrate to Linux when the CoreCLR stabilizes.

Running the server side API

One of our primary languages.

Programming language

Most of our codebase is C#

Server side development language and frameworks: ASP.Net MVC 4, Asp.Net WebApi 2, Razor View engine, Moq, Entity Frameworks, etc.

Language of choice for Windows desktop and mobile apps

Base language to develop all the features

Out of necessity

Backend code

originally used c# a decade ago when writing the tools for superman returns at my stint with electronic arts, have used it again recently for developing in unity.

sdas

Backend language of choice

Exclusively for Unity. No .NET sorry :/

Developing programming skills. Algorithms and data structure techniques. working in various types of project from windows forms to asp.net core

C# is our language of choose. Who really uses VB.NET?

C# is my most well-known language. I work with it since my university studies.

Heavily used in front-end client scripting and backend infrastructure; we've been progressively migrating all our infrastructure to be written in C#/.NET Core.

General purpose API code

No need for this anymore. We use nwjs/elecron instead.

Nearly our entire server codebase is written in Scala (if you haven't heard of it, it's a programming language that is basically what you would get if Java + ML had a baby). This has worked out super well. It enables us to write concise easy to deal with code that is typechecked at compile time. It's also been a big help with recruiting.

Programming language

We use Scala instead of Java to build Android App faster and more gracefully.

It's the language of Spark. DStreams and transformations.

Fo it's functional prowess

Used to build a wrap over Gatling to automate the stress testing.

I've been using scala commercially since 2008 in Banks and other projects.

Functional and conccurency programming

Replaces entirely the Java Language to build a much more expressive and powerful code on the backend, while leveraging at the same time the Java Platform Tools and Frameworks, is a mixture of old and mature with new and sexy.

Writing Scala is an enjoyable experience. What's more satisfying then using map to process your data in an array.

Scala, Akka and Spray (which became Akka-Http) provided the building blocks for the menu service.
Akka's actors and finite-state machine were a natural way to model a USSD menu (a series of stateful interactions between a subscriber and the USSD gateway).

Scala is the God of languages. A legend. The Mount Rushmore of hybrid OO/functional languages is Scala's face four times over.

Ok, honestly, we love Scala. We love(d) Java (and it's parents C and C++), and we love(d) all the languages that borrowed cough stole cough from Java over the years such as Groovy, Clojure, and C#.

It may not be perfect (it totally is, but since programming languages don't have egos of their own, we don't want to paint it too bright), but it is awesome. It runs on the JVM, you can utilize Spring, it works great for data processing (which is sorta kinda the thing we do here, folks), and it just makes sense at all levels.

If you don't like Scala, we feel sorry for the projects that are suffering due to your choices, meanwhile we are using Scala to write everything from JavaScript, CSS, SQL, and JSON directly within itself (go figure), so in the end no one will know the beauty of this powerhouse language (except for our engineers, of course).

New micro services are on this stack

Programming language for the core SRX tools

Functionnal Programming at its best.

worked with scala for around 2 years. really enjoyed the language and getting back into the world of functional. unfortunately the community is heavily fragmented and the language itself broken and inconsistent. that with the various factions involved made it a put of for long term investment.
