# Ruby At this point I think I've used Ruby more than any other language in my life. I love how I can write clean, concise, and readable code in Ruby without having to think much about it. I really love the testing tools and community that Ruby has. Ruby has also greatly influenced two languages I really love: * [Elixir](https://elixir-lang.org/) - Functional programming language heavily inspired by Ruby and runs on the \[Erlang VM]\()) which makes it easy to write concurrent/parallel code.. * [Crystal](https://crystal-lang.org/) - A compiled and very performant language that's statically typed (with inference) that's heavily inspired by Ruby syntax. A lot of the Ruby code I've written just works in Crystal. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
