Ruby Programming Language

Just pushed this to Github and Rubygems. I use this for my Ruby editor. It parses the GtkSourceView style XML files if you have GtkSourceView installed, and instantiates Rouge themes for them (Rouge is used by e.g. Gitlab) so you get access to some more themes. It's not perfect because it needs to try to map token types between the GtkSourceView and Rouge lexers, but overall works pretty well.

I decided to write-up some tips on how I've tweaked my Emacs for Ruby development after starting to write Ruby again for the first time in some time. I hope it's useful - feedback very welcome.

My blog is also available as a Gemini Capsule, if that's your thing.

I love using Ruby, but one problem I have always had is distributing my programs made with it.

I would love to be able to distribute a version of Ruby in an AppImage; I want to make programs for the Steam Deck, and for most users this requires programs to be locally installed only. AppImages are perfect for this.

I managed to make an AppImage running an ancient version of Ruby from the PortableRuby project, but I would like to be able to use modern Ruby. Are there any tips/tricks I should know to compile a portable version?

This is a new-ish library, similar to ViewComponents but you can create your view using pure Ruby.

Interesting addition. It's running by Homeland written in Ruby.
