Ruby is a dynamic, open-source programming language developed by Yukihiro Matsumoto with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax designed for programmer happiness and expressive code. Ruby is commonly used for building web applications through the Ruby on Rails framework, which follows the Model-View-Controller pattern.

Benchmarks

This benchmark tests how fast a programming language can perform mathematical computations without any I/O or memory allocation. We are using the Leibniz formula to approximate the value of PI.
