So, I have an interest in writing CLI applications in Ruby. It seems a good use for it, little single-purpose apps to do various linuxy things. It satisfies the need to learn and play, and makes me smile when something actually works.
I setup Bluefin so I could play around with Ruby, and in doing so started reading up on what others had done in this area.
I discovered "Doing" this morning, and isn't that just the neatest thing little thing.
Someone smarter than me will probably say that I should have used a container since I'm on an immutable OS, but once I realized you could install Ruby via brew, and since I'm not a developer, but rather a ham-fisted hack that just wants to play, that was good enough for my purposes 😂
Even "doing" was a simple "brew-gem install doing" to get it up and running.
So, I can have my favorite toys AND I just updated my OS this morning and nothing blew up.
It's like magic.
