Ruby na one dynamic, reflective, object-oriented, general-purpose programming language. E bin dey designed and developed for mid-1990s by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto for Japan.

According to im creator, Ruby bin dey influenced by Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp. E support multiple programming paradigms, including functional, object-oriented, and imperative. E still get dynamic type system and automatic memory management.

Ruby bin dey conceived on February 24, 1993. For one 1999 post to the "ruby-talk" mailing list, Ruby author Yukihiro Matsumoto describe some of im early ideas about the language:

Matsumoto describe the design of Ruby as being like a simple Lisp language at im core, with an object system like that of Smalltalk, blocks inspired by higher-order functions, and practical utility like that of Perl.

The name "Ruby" originate during one online chat session between Matsumoto and Keiju Ishitsuka on February 24, 1993, before any code don dey written for the language. Initially two names bin dey proposed: "Coral" and "Ruby". Matsumoto choose the latter for one later e-mail to Ishitsuka. Matsumoto later note one factor in choosing the name "Ruby" – e bin be the birthstone of one of im colleagues.

The first public release of Ruby 0.95 bin dey announced for Japanese domestic newsgroups on December 21, 1995. Subsequently, three more versions of Ruby bin dey released for two days. The release coincide with the launch of the Japanese-language "ruby-list" mailing list, wey be the first mailing list for the new language.
