Ruby is a multi-paradigm programming language that is object-oriented, imperative, and reflective. It was created by Yukihiro Matsumoto, also known as "Matz", and was influenced by languages like Perl, Python, Smalltalk, and Eiffel. In turn, Ruby has influenced other languages like Swift, Groovy, Rust, Julia, and D. Ruby is cross-platform, uses file extensions like .rb and .rbw, has a huge community, and is easy to learn and read since it does not require semicolons.
