The Ruby Programming Language

There are many Ruby users, but most of them don't speak English, so a lot of the documentation in unavailable to anglophones (now we know how the rest of the world feels). This is probably going to change now that David Thomas and Andrew Hunt have become apostles. There follow a few links that may be useful to kanji illiterates.
