I really enjoy coding in Ruby and still think Rails is an ideal choice for a lot of apps, but it's obvious the language and ecosystem is "trending down". It's not stopping me from picking it off the shelf as a solid mature technology, but I'm curious about the future.

Thoughts on the state of Ruby and where the future lies?

I recently decided to take on a hobby that I abandoned in the past: video game development. I looked at the code that I write every day (enterprise software stuff) and I decided... I don't enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, I like what I do. I like the challenge, I like when something turns out the way I initially designed it, I like the praise that I get from customers and product managers, but I don't... enjoy it. A video game is something that can bring joy to people. It can pump up your adrenaline, it can make you laugh, it can make you lose track of time. It's probably an age thing (I'm fast approaching my 40th), but I want people to enjoy the stuff I make, not merely use it as a tool to do their daily job.

Nice to meet you.

_<small>Photo: [Erik Pitti](https://www.flickr.com/people/24205142@N00?rb=1)</small>_

That’s a question I’ve been asking myself recently as I’ve thrashed around looking to settle on a stack for my next project.

COBOL is that unsexy old thing that pays $350/hour to those brave and experienced enough to still have familiarity with it. It is *legacy* code wrangled these days by "*maintenance*" programmers. (I actually saw this used as a derogatory term by some fool who probably makes less than $350/hour.)

Most of the time I’ve spent programming to date was with tools I took pleasure in using. Sure, there was some Java, some C, but the majority of it was with sweet sweet Ruby and Rails. ♦️🛤️

The times have changed though, and I don’t feel too confident in that duo anymore.

I’ve always liked the backend more, and particularly ran away from JS like the devil. But, though I hate to admit it… JS, you’re my COBOL.

A weird type of COBOL, that’s for sure. One that has a baggage of legacy, quirks, and facepalms aplenty, while *also* being so cutting edge that people’s brains [stall and hurt](https://medium.com/@ericclemmons/javascript-fatigue-48d4011b6fc4) from pure paradox of choice.

But it is the language of my time. The number one most popular programming language on the planet. The undisputed queen of the open web 👑. And the one most likely to put a roof over my head for decades to come with the most flexibility.

To some it’s Java, others PHP. I’m going to park my horse right here under this JS tree 🌵. (You can start a song with that.) I’ll weather the framework tides, accumulating scars and wisdom, and have you – my handy sledgehammer of sparse finesse and begrudging appeal – always by my side.

That doesn’t mean stagnation, though. Quite the opposite. Knowing my footing firm, I’ll be free to risk further into learning and making: programming- *and* business- wise. 🏌️

I won’t pretend I love you, JS, but I will honor your place as the breadwinner. 🍞

And after a hard day’s work, I’ll rest you carefully in my toolbox, and let my fancy fly for [anything but you](https://twitter.com/search?q=elmlang) ;) 🆓

That is my COBOL. What’s yours?

These are just the ones I think are a **MUST WATCH** for any developer, ordered according to "daily work" relevance, but [here's](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNYkxOF6rcICniLJ2rfj0FexlA-9zmJJE) the full Chrome + Web list of sessions, if you have time, check the channel!
