      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.

      Tildes is pretty technically minded place, so I figured this would be a good place to get some advice. Programming is something I've taken a class or two on (though it's been long enough that I'd like to start from scratch) and I think I have some aptitude for it. The possibility of working from home is also very appealing. However, there are a ton of resources out there, and "learn to code" has been a thing for a while now. Is self-teaching or one of those coding boot camps a viable way to get started in the field? And if so, what are some good resources and practices for getting there? I have some money available, but a degree would be expensive both time and cost wise.
