Ruby is an application for Windows which allows its users to create programming code. It is designed mostly for specialists.

The principles of the language

The main purpose of Ruby is to build simple yet comprehensible programs for tasks where development time, clarity and simplicity are more important than speed. Convenience and minimization of the programmers’ labor in creating the code are matters of priority. This allows specialists to free themselves from the routine work that the computer can do faster and better. Particular attention is paid to regular activities, such as text processing and administration.

Opportunities

This programming language has a simple and concise syntax. It supports dynamic loading of extensions if the operating system allows this. Ruby also has OS-independent support for nonpreemptive multithreading. The software lets you work on creating applications, just like Turbo Pascal.

Ruby does not require forward declaration of variables, but it is desirable for the interpreter to assign an empty nil value to them. In this case the program can identify if there is a method name or not. Integers in this language are automatically converted between types.
