    Meta, but it's kind of ironic that the main Ruby language website shows a "0%" Ruby symbol with javascript deactivated, and doesn't even show the code examples, which are all just links to some sandbox anyway.

      It annoys me so much when developers think they can do it better and link with JavaScript. Interactions (like opening a dialog) witj JS - yes. Navigating to sites/positions in-site - that is just dumb. So many pages break the "open in new tab" behaviour with this implementation.

    Nice! There is a Japanese feel to the lead graphic, their prevalence of cartoon imagery, that one might not recognize without having traveled in Japan.

    Is the design debate public? I'd imagine it would make great reading.

      The top right character definitely looks like Matz!

    So, in order to show a single download link it needs to load an animation with visible loading progress even on a gigabit connection. It takes a few seconds to appear. All to show a scaling animation that can be achieved with a couple of lines of CSS.

    Same for absolutely static code examples that take a few seconds to load and shift the content away.

    Why?

      This is bit too much to ask. Just check the source it is swollen with Tailwind.

      You are a rare species, on the verge of extinction.

      Unfortunately, most people today probably don't care about what you're talking about. (I do, but I've decided not to comment on it anymore, because it would probably drive me crazy :)

    It is a nice site, but I've not been interested in Ruby since 2017.
