Thoughts
XKCD 353 is how I feel about Rails. Like. better_errors feels like a fever dream. Like it should not be possible to put me at a debugger
after the error has happened. Like active_job perform later? Like it just has its own scheduler? Its date functions are just English?

IRB has syntax highlighting in the command line. Like what. I honestly thought that these problems just hadn't been solved yet, but it turns out there are Ruby libraries that solve them
You could tell me there's a unmaintained Ruby library from 2015 that implements antigravity and I'd believe you.
Edit (:57): I've never seen Pry's `cd` before in any language (I wouldn't be surprised if common lisp/SLIME has it). If you had asked me why it didn't exist, I would have said it was too difficult.
