Unfortunately, I don't disagree with these points.<p>But the author says at the end: "So my message is: Make Ruby Great Again."<p>Ending the talk with this implies that this is the message they've been saying up to that point. But there is no discussion given as to how Ruby should be made "Great Again".<p>As a 3-year Ruby programmer (who started with the language), I don't hear this and get filled with optimism or inspiration. The underlying message seems to be that it's time to move on.
