Ask HN: Why is Ruby so poorly documented?
5 by znpy | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I need to pick up ruby for work, and headed to ruby-lang.org. I've mostly worked with Python so far, and my best companions have been the Python tutorial (https://ift.tt/eGLaVzW), the library reference (https://ift.tt/PnRKWDS) and the language reference (https://ift.tt/EKwqSIA). I was very surprised to see that on ruby-lang.org there is practically no equivalent o the Python tutorial. The closest thing is the on-line version of the pickaxe book (https://ift.tt/f5WnHvK) which is about Ruby 1.6, released in September 2000. There are a myriad of other small or smaller resources (koans and stuff) but no just-sit-down-and-read-all-this document. So the question is... Why is ruby so poorly documented? How is one supposed to learn ruby nowadays, properly ?
