Today is the birthday of the creator of Ruby - Yukihiro Matsumoto

Yukihiro Matsumoto - the man behind Ruby

Yukihiro Matsumoto was born on April 14, 1965 in Japan and has been interested in programming since he was young. His journey to create Ruby began in the 1990s, when he decided to create a language that would be developer-friendly while still being able to efficiently handle complex tasks.

Ruby was officially introduced in 1995 and has since gained immense popularity in the IT community. Ruby revolutionized the way developers wrote code by making it simple, readable, and elegant, allowing developers to write code faster and navigate existing projects more easily.

The impact of Ruby on the IT world

Ruby has gained considerable popularity, especially with the Ruby on Rails web framework, which was introduced in 2004. Rails has made web application development accessible to a wide range of developers and greatly simplified the process of creating dynamic web pages.

This language has quickly become a popular tool for developers around the world and has spurred the founding of many successful technology companies such as GitHub, Shopify, and Airbnb.

Ruby is also known for its strong emphasis on community. Matz's philosophy of "Matz is nice, so we are nice" has become a core tenet of the Ruby community and has fostered a friendly and supportive environment for developers.

Congratulations and thanks

In celebration of Yukihiro Matsumoto's birthday, we would like to thank him for his immeasurable contributions to the world of programming and web application development. Matz has created something that has inspired and changed the lives of many developers around the world. His legacy will continue in every line of code written in Ruby and in every application built on Ruby on Rails.
