Aaron AllenJust released the first "stable" version of doing, a rust clone of the ruby gem doing by @brett. I would love for you to take it for a spin, especially if you've used doing in the past.

Mike RoachToday I needed to write a passphrase generator and I was looking around for a good word list for this. The EFF publishes a list of words that are a good fit for passphrases for reasons they explain. Very nice!
Dead-simple Ruby code to generate some passphrases that are 3 words long, include a digit, capital letters, and dashes.
words = 3.times.map { word_list.sample.capitalize }
ix = rand(words.count)
words[ix] = format("%s%i", words[ix], rand(9))
words.join("-")
EFF Dice-Generated Passphrases
Create strong passphrases with EFF's new random number generators! This page includes information about passwords, different wordlists, and EFF's suggested method for passphrase generation. Use the directions below with any set of dice.And now, a message from internationally renowned security...
Probably the most useful piece of code I've written to make my life easier is an Enum generator for Ruby.

Enum types in Ruby
When I start a new project in Ruby, the first module I copy over is my custom little enum.rb. Many popular programming languages have built-in support for enums. C, C++, C#, Go, Java, Rust, Swift, but also looser-typed languages like PHP and Python. Ruby doesnβt have native support for enum types, but itβs not hard to add and add some clarity and cleanliness to your code.
GimΓ©nez Silva GermΓ‘n AlbertoIn this article, I explore the modern Ruby CLI stack β Thor, TTY Toolkit, and more β and show how to move from simple scripts to polished terminal applications.
π If you build developer tools, automation, DevOps utilities, or internal platforms, this ecosystem is worth knowing.
Ruby on Terminal is real β and itβs powerful.

Ruby 4 isnβt only about experimental features.
It also brings a set of βquiet improvementsβ that directly impact everyday code:
Set as a core class, Array#rfind, improved inspect control, multiline logical operators, high-precision math functions, and subtle performance refinements.
Small changes β real practical benefits.

π§ Modular Garbage Collectors
For the first time, CRuby can dynamically load alternative GC implementations (including MMTk-based ones) at runtime β opening the door to new performance strategies and future runtime flexibility.

π§ Pluggable Garbage Collectors in Ruby: Exploring the New Modular GC API
February 23, 2026 Ruby has traditionally shipped with a single, built-in garbage collector tightly coupled to the VM. With Ruby 3.4, that assumption begins to change. Feature #20470 introduces an eβ¦
StarryOn a whim, I decided to learn some Ruby basics last night. The language seems to be concise and cozy to use, with tons of utility functions and a syntax that's designed to be short. Plus, the documentation is great and it was easy to set up Ruby on Linux. A developer's dream!
I prefer statically typed languages, but I might dabble with Ruby some more!
Any other Ruby devs around? Why do you use the language?
