Ruby is so associated with its most famous framework, Rails, that many people forget how amazing this language is. I mean, I know a lot of people who says “I don’t like Ruby” and when I ask why, they say something about Rails. Personally, I consider Ruby one of my favorite programming languages, and the last time I touched any Rails code was 7 years ago…So, if I don’t use Rails anymore, what I do with Ruby? Well, Ruby is a very rich and complete language, perhaps even more than its more famous relative, Python (sadly, I can’t say the same about its ecosystem…). And one of the things that I think that Ruby is better than Python is using it for writing shell scripts.
