RE: Coding Challenge #3 – An AI to solve a maze (ruby only)
I don't know, is Ruby really worth learning or not? I mean here in Palestine until now I've seen no single job asking for a Ruby programming skill, all what they require is node.js an AJAX mostly
Well there are many ruby jobs out there. Your mileage may wary if you only look at the hip and new js stuff though.
For example @buildteam is looking for ruby developers ;)
And on a different note: If you only learn exactly what you need and nothing else, then you will probably not succeed at being a programmer. What if in two years everyone codes in rust and a year later a new language emerges that everyone loves. So understanding different languages alone can be worth it.

You're right, but I'm still at the beginning of my career and I really feel a lot more nervous about choosing what's the best for me
Then my suggestion for you is: build stuff.
Your first language does not really matter a lot, if you want, learn multiple at the same time and try out things. Or stick to one and branch out once you have it learned reasonably well.
If you have some time on your hands, take the challenge and try to code the AI in ruby. If you have any questions that google cannot answer, ask here, I can happily help you :) And if you share your code, we all can help you improve by giving you small tips and suggestions with each new iteration :)
Thank you, that means a lot to me... I promise I will do my best ❤️
