Jbuilder
Generate JSON objects with a Builder-style DSL
Jbuilder gives you a simple DSL for declaring JSON structures that beats manipulating giant hash structures. This is particularly helpful when the generation process is fraught with conditionals and loops. You can either use Jbuilder stand-alone or directly as an ActionView template language. When required in Rails, you can create views à la show.json.jbuilder (the json is already yielded). Fragment caching is supported, it uses Rails.cache and works like caching in HTML templates. If your collection cache depends on multiple sources (try to avoid this to keep things simple), you can name all these dependencies as part of a block that returns an array. -

Concurrent Ruby
Modern concurrency tools including agents, futures, promises, etc.
Modern concurrency tools including agents, futures, promises, thread pools, supervisors, and more. Inspired by Erlang, Clojure, Scala, Go, Java, JavaScript, and classic concurrency patterns. Concurrent Ruby is an 'unopinionated' toolbox that provides useful utilities without debating which is better or why. It remains free of external gem dependencies. It stays true to the spirit of the languages providing inspiration, but implements in a way that makes sense for Ruby. Keeps the semantics as idiomatic Ruby as possible, supports features that make sense in Ruby. Excludes features that don't make sense in Ruby. It is small, lean, and loosely coupled, thread-safety, and with backward compatibility. Concurrent Ruby makes one of the strongest thread safety guarantees of any Ruby concurrency library, providing consistent behavior and guarantees on all four of the main Ruby interpreters (MRI/CRuby, JRuby, Rubinius, TruffleRuby). -

Mongoid
Ruby ODM framework for MongoDB
Mongoid is the officially supported ODM (Object-Document-Mapper) framework for MongoDB in Ruby. This Mongoid community organization is a group of open-source contributors around the Mongoid ODM not affiliated with the company, MongoDB. Mongoid is customarily configured through a mongoid.yml file that specifies options and clients. The simplest configuration is as follows, which configures Mongoid to talk to a MongoDB server at “localhost:27017” and use the database named “mongoid”. If you are not using Ruby on Rails, Mongoid configuration must be loaded manually. This can be done via the Mongoid.load! method, which takes the configuration file path as its argument. It is also possible to configure Mongoid directly in Ruby, without using a configuration file. This configuration style does not support the concept of environments - whatever configuration is provided, it is applied to the current environment, but it does support defining multiple clients. -

AnyCable
Polyglot replacement for Ruby WebSocket servers with Action Cable
Notifications, chats, real-time updates, GPS trackers, collaboration tools, and other real-time features are essential for every modern app. And you should be able to build them in the comfort of your core framework: owning the data, using resources efficiently, and writing clean, maintainable code. AnyCable transforms your Rails application’s real-time performance, making it on par with Go, Elixir, and Node.js–based solutions so you can focus on implementing the business logic. Scale efficiently with AnyCable by leveraging its much lower RAM usage and better CPU utilization than Action Cable. Like with any data, being strategic when handling real-time data is super important. With AnyCable, you remain the owner: you store and access all the data directly, and you never send it to a 3rd-party. Simple and secure. -

CSS-Only Chat
A truly monstrous async web chat using no JS whatsoever
css-only-chat is a proof-of-concept demonstration that implements a functioning chat interface using only HTML and CSS, without any JavaScript or backend logic. The project showcases creative use of CSS selectors, checkboxes, labels, and the :checked pseudo-class to mimic interactive behaviors normally handled by JavaScript. Messages are pre-written in the HTML and displayed based on user interaction, making it more of a playful experiment than a real messaging platform. Its main purpose is to illustrate the limits of CSS as a programming and UI tool, serving as both an educational example and a bit of humor within the developer community. By pushing CSS beyond its conventional role, it demonstrates how user interfaces can be simulated through styling tricks and static structures. Although not suitable for production use, it stands as a fun exercise in front-end creativity and unconventional coding challenges. -

SICP PDF
SICP PDF with Texinfo and LaTeX source
sicp-pdf is a LaTeX-based PDF version of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP), the classic textbook by Harold Abelson, Gerald Jay Sussman, and Julie Sussman. It builds upon the earlier Unofficial Texinfo Format (UTF), which itself was derived from the MIT Press HTML version, but enhances the project by fully converting the source into LaTeX. This conversion allows for high-quality typesetting, improved design options, and the integration of OpenType and Unicode features through XeTeX. The repository contains both Texinfo and LaTeX sources, with automated scripts to keep them in sync during builds. Users can recompile the book locally with a recent TeX Live distribution and the necessary fonts, while Inkscape is required for SVG-to-PDF image conversions. The project is continuously refined to address formatting issues and ensure the text and figures render correctly across platforms. -

The Art of Programming
A collection of practical tips can be found at the bottom of this page
The Art of Programming (Second Edition) is a curated collection of programming problems and solutions originally derived from the Microsoft 100 Interview Questions blog series, later refined into a long-running tutorial and ultimately a published book. Created by July, the series began in 2010 and has since evolved into an in-depth exploration of algorithmic thinking, data structures, and coding interview preparation. The repository brings together 42 classic programming problems from the original series, enhanced with detailed explanations, formula derivations, and optimized solutions. In July 2023, work on the second edition was announced, which expands the project with updated content, new problems inspired by recent big-tech interviews, and introductions to modern machine learning techniques such as XGBoost, CNNs, RNNs, and LSTMs. This collection serves both as a historical record of algorithm problem-solving and as a living resource for programmers preparing for interviews. -

sysadmin-util
Tools for Linux/Unix sysadmins
sysadmin-util is a compact collection of small, practical command-line utilities gathered for everyday system administration tasks. The repository contains a variety of single-purpose scripts that solve common problems such as determining file ages, testing SSH connectivity, checking MySQL slave status, expanding IPv6 addresses, sending metrics to Graphite, and working with IP ranges. The project intentionally keeps the set small and focused, emphasising quality and personal usefulness over trying to be a large toolbox everyone adopts unchanged. Each tool is simple to inspect, easy to install, and written to be useful in scripting and cron workflows, with many commands designed to behave well in automation and monitoring contexts. The maintainer notes that personal toolkit preferences vary, encourages users to assemble their own curated collections, and points to a replacement repo for a more permissive contribution flow. -

Puma
A Ruby/Rack web server built for concurrency
Unlike other Ruby Webservers, Puma was built for speed and parallelism. Puma is a small library that provides a very fast and concurrent HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby web applications. It is designed for running Rack apps only. What makes Puma so fast is the careful use of a Ragel extension to provide fast, accurate HTTP 1.1 protocol parsing. This makes the server scream without too many portability issues. If you are using Bundler, just add Puma to your project's Gemfile. Once you've installed your bundle, start Puma. If you are not using Bundler, you can install Puma directly from the command line. On MRI, there is a Global VM Lock (GVL) that ensures only one thread can run Ruby code at a time. But if you're doing a lot of blocking IO (such as HTTP calls to external APIs like Twitter), Puma still improves MRI's throughput by allowing IO waiting to be done in parallel. -
