Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
summary
Claims the Ruby standard library contains about 70MB of code and highlights three concrete libraries: drb, rdoc markdown parser and fiddle. Shows a tiny drb chat server (server + client classes, remote object references) and mostly working demo with a few runtime typos. Demonstrates rdoc turning a README into HTML via its markdown API. Explains fiddle wrapping a compiled Dylan function (adder a+b) and how to attach and call it from Ruby.
