Noteworthy in the MRuby universe, which is all about lightweight Ruby implementations is picoruby. You can get an integrated ruby shell on a Raspberry Pi Pico:

It's sad, that android is the only system that can be used to code on the device thanks to termux and now google wants to end this.

I followed Thor's journey over the years. Great dude and a incredible achivement. Imagine planning for 4 years but hanging on for 10! He also had bad luck being stuck during covid.

It's something I ran into quite a few times in my career. It's a weird call to get if the client can't save their cms site, due to typing something harmless. I think worst was when there was a dropdown that I defined which had a value in the mod rules that was not allowed.

I saw a child chat with an AI Tom Felton on the bus using her smartphone. I'm not sure if that is healthy.

picoruby is a lot of fun. It's a reimplementation of mruby/c which is even smaller. You might be interested in my friend and creator HASUMI Hitoshi's presentation. He shows off his Ruby REPL that runs on the Raspberry Pi pico. Recently he ported picoruby to other microcontrollers.

I would be happy to just get the old PWA mode back. Turn a webapp into a window.

Just read this one. Always a good overview about what happens in the ruby world!
