ChocolateyRuby is a dynamic, open source programming language focusing on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write.
This package provides a self-contained [Windows-based installer](https://rubyinstaller.org) that includes the Ruby language, an execution environment, important documentation, and more.
