Last week, I replied to a question on BlueSky by @mackuba asked if #Ruby is growing.
In my replies, I shared some trends that, IMO confirm it
Now @cooperx86 - who is doing #RubyWeekly for a super long period and has a much better grasp of the ecosystem shared 👇
After using the `llm` CLI tool from @simon I feel like I have been living under a rock in terms of using LLMs via CLI.
It is so good and simple to use and integrate in a bash script. Strongly recommend it
I'm super happy to release Marksmith today.

I can talk a bit more about the book I'm writing for the Pragmatic Programmers (https://pragprog.com).
The running title is: "Ruby Alchemy". The focus is on blending Object Oriented + Functional design (emphasis on the latter). It's a book I've always wanted!
The goal is to have the book finished by end of year (but I'm shooting for sooner). Should be about 350 pages (I think) and I've written 131 pages so far. It's always the last 10% that is the hardest, though.
I've been experimenting for quite some time with the techniques that @a_grebenyuk goes over here: https://kean.blog/post/swiftpm-and-xcode
I have run into hiccups with package resolution/updates for branch-based things. I don't follow the exact same target-based approach. But keeping your package dependencies managed in this way works and is quite nice.
