Пользуясь тем, что на канал подписаны все свои, я повыпендриваюсь самописным Sensu плагином для мониторинга Druid DB

Этот плагин, как и любой другой для Sensu, по сути является Ruby Gem'ой. Однако мне приятно, что первую в моей жизни гему не только скачали больше 300 раз, но и успешно использовали в продакшене.

Ладно, я сам успешно её использовал для prod Druid cluster. А вот про сам Druid я расскажу как-нибудь позже

I’m not a Ruby developer and even though this was the first language after Bash I used to write some scripts for commercial usage, I don’t use it any more. Still have a couple of stale repositories with some Ruby code on GitHub, lol.

With this been said, you can imagine that I don’t keep an eye on what’s going on in that ecosystem. Obviously, some people do. So, today I want to share with you a Ruby Changes website which is a curated digest of the recent developments of that language.

I’m sharing it with you not because I’ve suddenly decided to switch to Ruby, but because of the story behind the latest update, that can easily make one cry.

Ruby was the first programming language I tried to consciously learn. Meaning, it wasn't a part of a university curriculum or something.

Despite not using it for many years, I still have some warm feelings towards this language. In this article Lucas Seiki Oshiro argues that Ruby is good for shell scripts as well.

Ruby is strongly associated with the Rails framework. So, I think this article is a good reminder that programming languages are more than just frameworks.
