Recent years have seen the rapid spread of the Ruby programming language to business systems in private and public sectors, in addition to the development of web applications, for which Ruby has been commonly used.

In the past two annual meetings of the RubyWorld Conference held in Matsue, Shimane, various information and points of view have been shared among the Ruby community,including developers, engineers, and end-users, throughout the talks about case studies of advanced applications, latest technical trends, and the standardization of the language specification.

This year, the RubyWorld Conference will be held again, in which participants will be able to obtain a wide variety of information about Ruby, and gain an understanding of the “Ruby ecosystem”.
