I see that this coincides with Ruby 3.4.8 release[1]. I wonder we will get another Ruby release on 2025-12-25, since Ruby has made a Christmas day release for 13 consecutive years[2].

It looks great, but it's missing the one thing I want most in the site - the ability to select the version of the language documentation in some way other than editing the URL directly. I use ruby-lang almost exclusively for the documentation.

I also wish the documentation search parameter were saved in the URL. This would allow people to create a custom Chrome search engine like @ruby and dramatically speed up doc searching.

The Lighthouse report is telling. It scores 100% for Best practices and SEO, but 54% for Performance. Pages like these used to be caricatures of the modern web, but are now acceptable. DHH's statement doesn't help either.

I find this distasteful:

  cities  = %w[ London
              Oslo
              Paris
              Amsterdam
              Berlin ]

Do it properly with quotes you lazy people :)

EDIT: typical ruby (on rails) code: saves a few characters, breaks readily (Hint: consider "New Orleans")

I'm glad to see they didn't use wordpress.

Ruby is GOATED. You can say what you want but Ruby coupled with Rails is the most productive web stack period.

Why you might ask? - Omakase Stack - high level is good for business processes - modern concepts without JS ecosystem churn - great testing capabilities - great ecosystem - highly effective stack for LLMs (conventions)

Is it fast in Benchmark Games - not by any means. Will you be able to finish projects and make money with it? Absolutely.

The number of times Matz is mentioned and depicted on the homepage is offputting. MINASWAN feels too close to WWJD for me. I can't think of another programming language community that does this, and I'm including Wolfram in that assessment.

The old site as a comparison.

Very nice, my nature-lang references the old ruby design, now maybe I can reference the new one.
