Thank you for such prompt response! I am surprised that the standard lib can be left out though! Is there any formal/informal list of what ruby considers "standard library"? Can we safely assume that most container classes are available for instance? Array, Hash etc? Am I right in assuming that what is left out is anything that warrants a "require" statement?
