Ruby is a fully object-oriented language, much like the
classic object-oriented language, Smalltalk. Like Smalltalk,
it is dynamically typed (as opposed to Java or C++), but
unlike Smalltalk, Ruby features the same conveniences found
in modern scripting languages, making Ruby a favorite tool
of intelligent, forward-thinking programmers and the basis
for the Rails web framework.

This is the reference manual for Ruby, including a
description of all the standard library modules, a complete
reference to all built-in classes and modules (including all
the new and changed methods introduced by Ruby 1.9). It also
includes all the new and changed syntax and semantics
introduced since Ruby 1.8. Learn about the new parameter
passing rules, local variable scoping in blocks, fibers, and
the new block declaration syntax, among other exciting new
features.
