Ruby documentation as I learn it. PR's to the documentation are welcome.
Input/output is similar to Python, Bash, and C.
word = getsputs "Hello, World!"The worst part in any language.
Luckily, strings in Ruby can be manipulated similarly to Python via square bracket indexing (i.e. [i]). For example:
% ruby
word = gets
puts word[0]
