(both Twitter contacts) have painstakingly compiled this list of over 50 Rubyists, in alphabetical order, with a link to their Twitter profile. The following list is not intended to be all-inclusive, but it should give you a great start to following some talented Rubyists.
The message-object protocol is fundamental to the way Ruby works. Messages are sent to objects to perform some task. Within the object, a message handler responds to the message and executes some code. Code blocks or procs can be created and executed at any time. A method is an enhanc...

Ruby code blocks (called closures in other languages) are chunks of code between braces or between do- end that you can associate with method invocations, almost as if they were parameters. A Ruby block is a way of grouping statements, and may appear only in the source next to a metho...

So even though not everything is an object in Ruby, an object is never very far away. Every statement eventually reduces to a single object. You might say that almost everything is an object—and everything is almost an object. Much of the time, the objects produced by control flow sta...
