Ruby without Rails?

Surya_Poojary · 14 November 2017 07:21

Hi Rubyists!

I'm a beginner who is trying to learn Ruby. I have noticed how people
always link rails to ruby,I'm sure it's one hell of a framework and does
boosts Ruby's popularity.But I wanted to know if ruby can hold its own
against other languages if there is no rails.

Just a question from a newbie.

Yours Sincerely,

Surya Poojary.

I have been through that stage ...the problem is that you get bored fast of
languages.. I would suggest you learn Ruby and go through the standard
library and try to solve your problem with it.

Hi! As a system administrator, I use Ruby -- plain, relatively vanilla Ruby -- all the time. I prefer it over Perl (it's more modern, does OOP much more gracefully, and overall feels more like a *language*), and over Python (Python irks me in some trivial ways -- for example, it always seems arbitrary whether something is a function or a method; Python's space-indentation makes it a real PITA to cut-and-paste, likewise the same for executing one-liners from the CLI). Right now, I'm a cloud admin, and have taken to writing lots of scripts that talk to the Openstack APIs, because the Openstack CLI tools are bugging me. (Who sends errors to STDOUT?!?!)

I also like the fact that it still retains some of the easy regex use that Perl had, as well as some other things.

$.02, YMMV, etc.

-Ken

I am a beginner like you.

I started to use Ruby one month ago and my priority was
making short scripts for Linux system administration and
controlling the BeagleBone Black.

I must say in this respect Ruby really rocks, these are my arguments about it:

-] It has a REPL that is part of the language (irb) [Perl does not, Python does]

-] It has great features from Perl: builtin regexp, powerful string quoting %q, %Q, nice
string interpolation, clean way to call other shell programs : ` ` .
[Perl has, Python has but IMHO not so practical to use ]

-] You can write long numbers as "100_00_123_4_56", so, you can use Ruby as a pocket calculator, I need it a lot of times. [ Perl has, but it is not born to be used in a REPL,
Python has it only from release 3.6 (i guess) ]

-] As easy to read as Python. But in Ruby you can write your logic in a single line, in Python not. So, good for one-liners. [ Perl is not so nice to read, but rocks in one-liners ]

-] Ruby uses Scheme way of designing methods that return booeleans (with "?") and methods that are destructive(with "!") [ Perl does not, Python does not ]

-] As in Lisp each time you run a "statement" you get a value back. This is very
good, I appreciate it. [ Python does not do it always (AFAIRemember), and Perl,
what it returns it depends on what it expects ]

-] In general, if you know other programming languages you will see
Ruby tries to take the best from each one of them. And, IMHO it succedes.

Given that, I will write all code I was writing in Python, Perl, Bash in Ruby from
now on. Because I think it is a very clean and comprehensive generale purpose tool.

Bye
Nicola

I find http://exercism.io/ to be a good way to learn, but everyone is different.

+10 for Exercism, it's a very website to work on exercises on any language,
and there are helpful peers and mentors that can help you improve your code.

Patrick_Bayford · 14 November 2017 21:19

I would honestly recommend Ruby to anyone wishing to learn true Object Oriented Programming. It's handling of all object related matters is intuitive and all-encompassing. And, of course, it's use as an Internet scripting engine is more than useful.

Welcome!

There are lots of great applications without rails. Just to name a few:
homebrew, asciidoctor (my favourite), rake, and many other non-rails
framework like sinatra and hanami.

Heard in rubykaigi that many Japanese use mruby for embedded device. But
never tried it.
