As stated earlier, since Ruby is an open source offering it is free. Many people have opted to purchase the license so that they can make it a cross platform language as per their needs. Ruby can easily recognize variable types all by itself. Due to this feature coders are not required to define variable types as we have to do in several other programming languages. Ruby’s dynamic typing saves a lot of time for programmers.

Ruby has been provided to programmers with various class libraries which are bundled together. These class libraries start from the basic data types to advanced level thread and network programming. These class libraries have not been saturated yet and Ruby still is in the process of getting more libraries with time to make programming more simple and efficient.

Ruby also comes with an effective garbage collector which avoids the problem of memory leaks to a great extent and takes care of the misuse and unnecessary occupancy of the memory.

Ruby provides us with familiar syntaxes which are known to C++,Eiffel, Perl, and Python programmers. These syntaxes are composed of all the common features available for the programming like the comments, identifiers, reserved words, literals, arrays, Regular expressions etc.
