Because it solves real problems (it's very easy to use, and I use a lot). It works similar with HD wallet in bitcoin or ethereum. In HD wallet, you can derive accounts for many crypto currencies from one seed password which is what master password in lesspass does.

The counters in lesspass, can be used to derive another password for the same website, if one want to change the password for the website.

HD wallet also has the similar functionality. If you want to change the bitcoin address, just derive another account from the seed password.

And the solution to keep the seed password of HD wallet safe can also work with lesspass. such as [OpenSK][1].

1. Ruby will support parallelization, it’s just a matter of time.

2.Passenger and Unicorn are multi-process, which due to developers can make use of nearly nothing in Ruby, and that's why gems like https://github.com/grosser/parallel come out.

3. The language implementation detail matters a lot. Too many gems are not thread-safe. JRuby is an option, but not that good, as there're too many other options under JVM platform. Rubininus is awesome, I wish it comes out earlier.

Yes, from the beginning, and there exists celluloid which try to implement actor model. The fact that concurrent-ruby cannot be truly parallelized just disappoints me. The same idea of Future,Promise applied to Ruby doesn't gain the benefit. At last, it's just a method of writing 'better' code, not getting better solution.

Rails is an excellent framework, but it isn't a feature of Ruby. When some other frameworks are rising, Ruby can lose quickly.

Ruby is the first language I really like. The core concept of the language is small, just not easy to get, but the change on how to programming is significant. Sadly, Ruby is not the language for the multi-core world, and many advantages of using it is disappearing. Although Ruby is changing, 2.3, 2.4, maybe 3.0, but what's the difference?

It's definitely worth trying! I have used akka-stream once, and always expect something like that in erlang world. Finally, here it is. Thanks for the Elixir team.
