DuckDB gem installation failed with numerous errors about not being able to build the native gem
Damn! `bundle install` with `duckdb` in the Gemfile failed! Fortunately, I have my own blog to refer to about this (yay!) - notepad.onghu.com/2025/duck-db...

Installation page for RubyInstaller2 for Windows
Every x'mas day, the #Ruby core team releases Ruby - and soon after, we get the RubyInstaller for #Windows and I try to update my post for installing #RubyOnWindows.
It's ready - full instructions for Ruby 4.0 on Windows: notepad.onghu.com/2025/ruby4.0...

Even though it's not listed on the home page yet, RubyInstallers for versions 3.4.5-1, 3.3.9-1, 3.2.9-1 are not available for #Windows.

Windows dialog showing JRuby installation is complete.
Finally, started with installing #JRuby 10 & running Hello World before trying other things in the next few weeks. If you've wanted to experiment, here's a simple illustrated guide to get it running and the first steps:

Distracted boyfriend meme with "All my Other Stuff" looking at "Me" while I seem keen to check out "JRuby 10"
Somehow, I need to find time to get into at least a little bit of #Jruby 10 later today. Good thing that I already have Java 21 on my computer.

Maybe, I should post this when it's day time in Japan since so many #ruby folk are in Japan right now 😊

It's easy to get started with #DuckDB (@duckdb.org) on #Windows. It also works fine from #Ruby though Ruby is not yet officially listed on their website.
I'm just getting started with it but I wrote up my installation experience: notepad.onghu.com/2025/duck-db...
#RubyOnWindows
If you're waiting to try #Ruby 3.4 on #Windows, the RubyInstaller is now available.
I also created my illustrated guide to installing it: notepad.onghu.com/2024/ruby3.4...
Happy New Year!

This is great. The RubyInstaller is already very important and extremely functional for basic #RubyOnWindows that does almost everything (other than YJIT)
Yes, I can imagine. I did a great project once that used Word OLE automation to extract content & formatting to create Textile markup from it so we could import the whole ~300 pg document into a website/ CMS with cross references, etc.
Win32OLE is one of the main reasons we need #RubyOnWindows
Choose 20 Ruby gems that you've used time and time again, or have inspired you in some way. #20DayGemChallenge
One gem per day for 20 days, in no particular order.
Will create a post at notepad.onghu.com on Day 20 to explain my choices.
