Initially, it was made by Yukihiro Matsumoto as a Japanese programmer. In 1993 Yukihiro wanted to make a scripting language which had object-oriented ability. At that moment object-oriented programming was rising, but had yet scripting language which supported object programming. Writing of this language was started in February 1993 and then alpha of first version was released. In early Ruby development, Yukihiro wrote this his own until 1996 while formed special community that given a lot contribution on Ruby development.
One point which makes it more famous is Ruby on Rails (RoR). Ruby on Rails is web development framework, which is built by Ruby language. Its creator is David Heinemeier Hansson, a programmer from Denmark and he is 37signals's partner, web software development company.
Previously it was quite difficult to find hosting which support that requirement, especially shared hosting packages. This made Ruby was neglected. However, the issue can be handled by VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting. Currently, VPS hosing packages can be found easily and we may customize them as we want.
In addition, RoR has been listed as one of top programming language as according to The TIOBE Programming Community. On the other hand, Macintosh has cooperated to integrate them within Mac Os X v10.5 Leopard that released in October 2007.
