iRuby
A Ruby kernel for Jupyter notebooks, enabling interactive data science and computational workflows in Ruby.
What is iRuby?
IRuby is a Ruby kernel for the Jupyter project that enables running Ruby code interactively within Jupyter notebooks. It solves the problem of Ruby's absence in the Jupyter ecosystem by providing a kernel that integrates with Jupyter's notebook interface, allowing data exploration, visualization, and computational workflows in Ruby.
Ruby developers and data scientists who want to use Ruby for interactive data analysis, scientific computing, or educational purposes within Jupyter's notebook environment.
Developers choose IRuby because it's the official and most maintained Ruby kernel for Jupyter, offering seamless integration, multiple REPL backends, and cross-platform support. It uniquely brings Ruby's expressiveness to the interactive computing space dominated by Python and Julia.
