I call your attention to the fact that currently the expression "language reference" is not present on the page. It is nice to read tutorials and getting started guides, but the point comes when you want to get down to serious business. Then you need a language reference.

Would a version table be useful? If so, where would it be best placed? I would propose at the top of the 'History' section, as that is where the different versions are discussed.
The table may look like this:
Version | Date | End of support |
---|---|---|
1.9.3 | 2011-10-31 | 2015-02-23 |
2.0.0 | 2013-02-24 | |
2.1.0 | 2013-12-25 | |
2.2.0 | 2014-12-25 | |
2.2.3 | 2015-08-18 |

I'm not sure what the sections that basically amount to release "cliffnotes" (especially for the versions that are obsolete) add to this page. Is there a reason to include them? The table with version numbers and support status seems like it would suffice. rubah ( talk) 05:28, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
About this edit. Is it bad to show differences? I didn't look over, saying any of them are true (or not).
Just, if language A (Ruby) has for sure some syntax/semantics and some other language B something else, then ok with WP:V? I'm not even sure you need an official spec. comp.arch ( talk) 14:37, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
Can anyone help me clean up the mess I've made trying to use Template:LSR? I've created Template:Latest_stable_software_release/Ruby, but the resulting "+" button on the main Ruby article links to Template:Latest stable software release/Ruby (programming language).
The latter redirects to the former, but I've screwed things up :-(

The article right now states:
"Matsumoto attempted to distance Ruby from POLA"
But this is historically incorrect. Matz never coined POLS or POLA himself; that was in particular pragdave who coined this.
So when the article claims "attempted to distance ruby from xyz", then this is not historically correct. Matz was not the one who used POLS/POLA; that came from others, so how could he "distance" ruby from it, if ruby never followed POLS or POLA? This is simply inaccurate what the wikipedia article claims right now. Whoever wrote it clearly did not know the history of ruby from matz point of view. It should be reworded. 80.110.94.82 ( talk) 10:37, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
Why can't I find anything about furigana in this article? I've read some, but still. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.68.2.144 ( talk) 10:11, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
