The Ruby Rouges speak with Fabio Akita, a return guess. Fabio is a blogger at AkitaOnRails.com and is an organizer and speaker at Ruby Dev. Conf. Brazil. Fabio mentions have minor open source projects. Fabio talks revolve around “How do you as a Ruby Developer, dive into new languages,” such as Crystal and Elixir. Fabio will be speaking on the upcoming Ruby Dev Summit.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:

• Should we just all just go to Elixir?
• Problems with choosing and staying with one language?
• Ruby is a ZPE language or 0.8 languages.
• Ruby on Rail was never a full solution.
• Elixir is not a difficult language, object-oriented, and functional.
• Elixir is linked an operating system.
• What drove you to Elixir?
• When new languages come up to replace something you already have…
• Crystal is a getting a stable API in a few months.
• LLVM -  Low-Level Virtual Machine, or compiler framework
• Copy and pasting your Ruby code into the Crystal compiler
• Dropbox client running on python
• Using Rabbit MQ
• and much more.
