Ruby is an interpreted language written by Yukihiro “matz” Matsumoto that originates from Japan. You can find its main website at http://www.ruby-lang.org . |
|||
It is a language that combines |
|||
* Joy of programming |
|||
* Powerful object oriented style |
|||
* Flexibility and extensibility |
|||
* Platform independence |
|||
Ruby is a language of careful balance. Its creator blended parts of his favorite languages ([[Perl]], [[SmallTalk]], [[Eiffel]], [[Ada]], and [[Lisp]]) to form a new language that balances functional programming with imperative programming. |
|||
He has often said that he is “trying to make Ruby natural, not simple,” in a way that mirrors life. |
|||
Since its public release in 1995, Ruby has drawn devoted coders worldwide. In 2006, Ruby achieved mass acceptance. The [http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm TIOBE] index, which measures the growth of programming languages, ranks Ruby as #11 among programming languages worldwide. Citing its growth, they predict, “Chances are that Ruby will enter the top 10 within half a year.” Much of the growth is attributed to the popularity of software written in Ruby, particularly the Ruby on Rails web framework. |
