Thanks for reading! I personally like using the ruby koans for learning Ruby's idiosyncrasies. I think it's a good intro to complete beginners since the answers are available if they get completely stuck, but more than that I think they are great for programmers who already have experience in other languages. It does a great job explaining more about how the language is constructed on a foundational level.

That being said, I think if one is looking more for algorithm practice or learning the depth of available methods, other resources like Leetcode are more suited. Also, the Ruby Koans only take about 5 or so hours, so they focus more on foundational knowledge rather problem-solving.

Hope that helps!
