You could set it to variables, use it for methods and what not. 1 2 3 4 5 6 irb(main):001:0> true.

Ruby is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. It was designed and developed in the mid-1990s by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto in Japan. I never really thought I'd learn Ruby at any point. If you look at the market both Ruby and Rails are declining in use, JS is increasing it's market share on a daily basis, if I wanted a scripting language I had python which to be honest has more users and market share than Ruby.
