      Does anyone here have experience with Ruby programming? More specifically mRuby or DragonRuby for game programming?

      I came across DragonRuby as free for its 7th anniversary and I’m considering checking it out, but I have no experience with the Ruby programming language itself.

      Most of my programming experience recently is in C# and Python, but I have some experience with JavaScript/TypeScript.

      Does anyone know of good resources for learning Ruby coming from that background, or thoughts on if it is worth it to try to pick up?

      I’m not really interested in LLM-based Ruby workflows, at least until I have a decent grasp of the language and syntax myself.

    2. What is your go-to project for learning a new language?

      Ive been playing around with learning a lisp language for a while, and I recently decided to go for it and learn fennel (as I already am comfortable with lua) just to see if I like lisps as a class. Normally, I try to do the first 5-10 days of a previous advent of code to pick up a lang.

      Setting up my advent of code environment got me wondering: what projects do other people use to learn new languages/tooling? Id love to hear how other people approach learning a new skill.
