Ruby was created in 1995 by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto as a combination of ideas from other languages. It has since become the 11th most popular programming language. Ruby is a general-purpose scripting language that supports a wide range of applications from web development to databases. As an object-oriented language, everything in Ruby is an object, and it provides simple input/output capabilities. Ruby is interpreted and includes an interactive command line interpreter called irb. Core data types include Boolean, number, string, array, hashes, and symbols.

has a wide spectrum of use
throughout computing.

Syntax and Implementation

an object as you can
see.

Also I/O is made simple
as well





Ruby is an interpreted
language. It also comes
with an interactive
command line
interpreter, irb.
Data Types
