Ruby is a programming language created by a japanese, Yukihiro Matsumoto. It’s so popular due to the art of programming with ruby. It’s a combination of programming languages like perl, smalltalk, Ada and Lisp. Like the author said
“Ruby is simple in appearance, but is very complex inside, just like our human body”

it’s actually easier to understand and sometimes you might find it very complex depend on what you want to build :)

One good thing about Ruby that i like is that it’s so powerfull and yet flexible. Take this for example

todoList = %w[ Assignment
Study
Eat
Sleep
Sport ]
todoDone = %w[Sleep Eat]
puts “Todo List:” +
“Thing you not yet do”,
todoList - todoDone

# Ruby knows what you mean, even if you want to do math on an entire Array
Another form of ruby’s flexibility is Ruby’s Block.
With ruby you can forget those main() start function and include in (c/c++)
Why ruby? well i started to know this languages when i’m surfing myBSD website and i found most of codes there are written in ruby. So i wondering what the hack is that language and i start surfing. I found it very impressive. Its code easier to be understand eventhough you are a newbie like me. Like my friend said “it’s structure not messy and beauty” Currently i’m working on to convert my Php Ircbot to Ruby Irc Bot (small personal project laa)
