:::Yes, I've done some checking and it should probably be removed. There are a number of projects working on compiler type entities for ruby, but none that are beyond beta yet. -- [[User:TomCounsell|TomCounsell]]
==Hello World==
1) "Hello World" is ''already in the article'', under "Blocks and iterators".
2) I disagree about using "Hello World" in every programming language article because it is considered a standard example. It should especially be avoided for a high level language like Ruby in which it consists of a single, straight-forward expression. Any non-trivial example, say a program that (for example) constructs and uses a hash, involving the creation of a string object and printing it to the standard output, provides all information that can be found in a "Hello World" program, and much more.
The question is not whether it can be included in the article, but whether there are not better ways to use the same space. Note also the existence of the [[Hello world program]] page, which exists to cover this "standard example". [[User:Fredrik|Fredrik]] | [[User talk:Fredrik|talk]] 11:57, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
