Ruby novice. But not programming novice. Pre-internet (liked this in another profile). So to extend. Pre-PC. Pre-Home computers. Essentially Pioneer.
still wrestling with (spac)emacs. Did not come to ruby yet :)

Instead of me taking on Emacs keys here are smarter people than me:

Emacs M-key Notation vs Alt+key Notation

Joking aside, even Mosaic was champion in usability once you manage to connect to internet (which was not really its fault).

User interface was explainable in 2 seconds to everyone - you point and click.

Then surfing without surfboard was invented overnight.

Some people told me I can surf internet today with EMACS (seen something but I need to find right key combination)

I am seriously contemplating to write an article with the title: "How Alt-m changed my world"
Brilliant!

@ljgww_rb if so, I think it's time for some emacs tutorial or the book 😀 . some keys for starters - https://gist.github.com/robphoenix/9e4db767ab5c912fb558

about menu - https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/5508

about last question - yes, i think

Spacemacs Cheat Sheet

Spacemacs Cheat Sheet. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

Is Ruby IDE still heresy to ask for?

I'm going to watch, once again, this beautiful keynote by Avdi Grimm:

i am ashamed to tell when I started writing programs.
Ahh yes. On Friday I have tried to install Ruby (2.5) on windows @work. It went surprisingly easy.
Then I have re-visited folders where I have tried ruby earlier and found that I already experimented with Sinatra even wrote some example. But... I also found that example I wrote in 2015 did not work with the new version of Ruby, with some strange exception message. I did not have time to investigate. I would need to refresh my memory about Ruby itself 😉
