Rubot is a comprehensive platform designed to enable fast and straightforward MediaWiki bot development. With a wide range of features, the framework is ideal for creating advanced bots easily.
Ruby is a dynamic, reflective, and general-purpose object-oriented programming language that combines Perl-inspired syntax with Smalltalk-like features. Originating in Japan in the mid-1990s, Ruby's initial development and design came from Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto. Ruby supports various programming paradigms such as functional, object-oriented, and imperative programming. Additionally, it offers a dynamic type system and automatic memory management, making it similar to other languages such as Python, Perl, Lisp, Dylan, and CLU.
In its official implementation written in C, Ruby is a single-pass interpreted language. Since there is no definitive specification for the Ruby language, this implementation constitutes the de facto reference. As of 2008, there are several alternative implementations of the Ruby language, including Rubinius, JRuby, YARV, and IronRuby, which differ in their approaches. JRuby, for instance, offers just-in-time compilation functionality.
Yukihiro Matsumoto created the Ruby language, starting his work on February 24, 1993, and releasing it to the public in 1995. The name "Ruby" was inspired by a joke among Matsumoto's friends referencing the name of the Perl programming language. As of December 2007, the latest Stable release version of the reference implementation remains 1.8.6. Nonetheless, several other virtual machines are in development for Ruby, among which are JRuby, an implementation for the Java platform, IronRuby for the .NET Framework from Microsoft, and Rubinius, an interpreter modeled after self-hosting Smalltalk virtual machines.
