Ruby's entire language is adorable. I wish the Ruby community had a mascot like the Go Gopher.

Yeah, I heard Ruby learned a lot from Perl so followed the convention of making after a precious stone.

I'm sure if it was written today it would have had an adorable name and a mascot to go along :)

Stones can be cute

And Ruby is a pretty adorable name. I can think of two Ruby devs who named their daughters Ruby. I don't necessarily endorse this kind of commitment but I know it's a thing.

Yeah, I met Sean Griffin and his Ruby at rubyconf last year.

I also have a friend who's dog is named Ruby.

Not gofer level cute, but still adorable af
