I was trying to find some documentation on how to write and understand ruby
language, and there didn't seem to be good stuff like python's standard
documentation. People have been writing documentation for C, java, python,
C++, pascal, etc... for a very long time , and I can't see why they can't
publish a decent tutorial+reference+library_description for ruby,
ideally they would just not reinvent the wheel, and copied python's
documentation structure for ruby . Any such documentation available on
the net ?
