Example

Create a helloworld.rb

puts "Hello World"

Then run with

ruby helloworld.rb
Hello World

Risks

The base Ruby language is great. The Ruby ecosystem including package management has caused many problems. The application stack of "Ruby on Rails" is very industry standard. The Gem package management system does what it is told, often to ill effect. Over the years the waters have become very muddy, see the Wikipedia page and the section "Alternative implementations" for more examples.
