The official Ruby programming language implementation, an interpreted object-oriented language with a JIT compiler, written in C and Rust. It includes the interpreter, standard tooling, and cross-platform build system for running Ruby programs.
Use cases
- run ruby scripts
- build web applications with ruby
- scripting and text processing
- learn an object-oriented programming language
- develop command-line tools in ruby
- contribute to the ruby language itself
When to choose
- you want to write or run Ruby code
- you need a portable, expressive scripting language for web development or automation
- you want a mature language with garbage collection and rich object-oriented features
When to avoid
- you need maximum raw performance for compute-heavy workloads
- your team or ecosystem is standardized on another language
- you need statically checked types at compile time
