Overview

Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language used for web development, text and serialized-file processing, and system tasks. It combines a simple syntax with mixins, closures, garbage collection, and dynamic loading.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Use object-oriented design and scripting features in a portable runtime

Beyond classes and method calls, Ruby provides mixins, singleton methods, operator overloading, exceptions, iterators, and closures. It runs across many Unix-like and POSIX platforms, Windows, and macOS, and the English README links directly to an official Japanese version.

For building web applications, scripts, and tools in a readable dynamic language

It fits teams using one object-oriented language for applications and short automation scripts while connecting to the RubyGems and Rails ecosystems. Official Japanese guidance also lowers the path into installation and source builds.

Separate the GitHub mirror, canonical development, bug tracker, and mixed licensing

This GitHub repository is a mirror; committers use the actual master at git.ruby-lang.org, and bugs go to bugs.ruby-lang.org. Distribution can follow either Ruby's own terms or the 2-clause BSD license, while some files have separate conditions, so review COPYING and LEGAL.

Supplemental curator note

Selected for Japanese-language reach that far exceeds what stars alone suggest, plus an explicitly documented mirror and bilingual README.
