Using Ruby in a Non-Ruby World

1. Using Ruby in a Non-Ruby World
2. Samuel Giddins Realm CocoaPods Bundler
3. Show of hands: Who writes Ruby for a living?
4. Show of hands: Who uses something built in Ruby every day?
5. Let’s name some
6. Those are some great tools! Do you think their utility is limited to Ruby developers?
7. No
8. I write Ruby every day
9. I write Ruby every day => I am a Rubyist
10. Let’s look at some of the tools we use: — rvm/rbenv/chruby — Bundler — Native extensions
11. Version Managers
12. For me: $ rbenv versions | wc -l 13 $ ruby -v 2.2.0p0
13. For others: $ which ruby /usr/bin/ruby $ ruby -v 2.0.0p353 # And be thankful it's not 1.8.7
14. Can’t you just update to 2.1.5? Not particularly helpful.
15. Bundler
16. Bundler Is wonderful.
17. But most people want to install a tool once and forget about it.
18. Yeah, they should use a Gemfile. But they won’t.
19. So your gem will be polluting their global namespace.
20. Native Extensions
21. They’re such a pain.
22. Compilation as part of the CocoaPods gem install process is dead. Long live precompiled gems! — CocoaPods 0.27 and improved installation UX
23. Not everyone needs to have a compiler installed. Or the Ruby headers. Or a proper build setup.
24. Not everyone needs to have a compiler installed. Or the Ruby headers. Or a proper build setup. And they shouldn't need to
25. In this ‘developer bubble’ there is no sane Ruby environment unless you at least build your own Ruby, but preferably including one or more of the following tools: homebrew, RVM, rbenv, and many other alternatives.
26. And Now For The Fun Part
27. Let’s get positive.
28. DSLs
29. Ruby is awesome for building DSLs.
30. source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' target 'iOS' do pod 'Realm' pod 'RestKit', git: 'https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit.git' end
31. It barely even looks like code!
32. Pod::Specification.new do |s| s.name = 'Realm' s.version = `sh build.sh get-version`.chomp end
33. That definitely is starting to seem more like code.
34. The difference?
35. BasicObject.instance_eval # the first # vs Kernel.eval # the second
36. If someone doesn’t realize they’re writing Ruby, you’ve done a ! job.
37. — Ruby 1.9 hash syntax - ! — Curly brace procs & lambdas - " — do...end blocks - ! — Symbol parameters - " — def f(*args); end - !
38. Hide the Ruby out back.
