Python vs. Ruby vs. Visual Studio vs. Void Editor Comparison Chart

Wondering why Ruby is so popular? Its fans call it a beautiful, artful language. And yet, they say it’s handy and practical. Since its public release in 1995, Ruby has drawn devoted coders worldwide. In 2006, Ruby achieved mass acceptance. With active user groups formed in the world’s major cities and Ruby-related conferences filled to capacity. Ruby-Talk, the primary mailing list for discussion of the Ruby language, climbed to an average of 200 messages per day in 2006. It has dropped in recent years as the size of the community pushed discussion from one central list into many smaller groups. Ruby is ranked among the top 10 on most of the indices that measure the growth and popularity of programming languages worldwide (such as the TIOBE index). Much of the growth is attributed to the popularity of software written in Ruby, particularly the Ruby on Rails web framework.

Void is an open source AI code editor and Cursor alternative built as a fork of VS Code, enabling developers to write code with advanced AI assistance while retaining full control over their data. It supports seamless integration with any large language model, such as DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen, Gemini, Claude, and Grok, connecting directly without routing through a private backend. Core features include tab‑triggered autocomplete, inline quick edit, and a versatile AI chat interface offering normal chat, a restricted gather mode for read/search-only tasks, and an agent mode that automates file and folder operations, terminal commands, and MCP tool access. Void delivers high‑performance operations, including fast apply on files with thousands of lines, alongside checkpoint management for model updates, native tool execution, and lint error detection. Developers can transfer all themes, keybindings, and settings from VS Code in one click and host models locally or via the cloud.
