Damn! `bundle install` with `duckdb` in the Gemfile failed! Fortunately, I have my own blog to refer to about this (yay!) - https://notepad.onghu.com/2025/duck-db-windows-ruby/

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.

@collin
Thanks for the reminder - it's been too long since I decided to use it but haven't done anything useful.

Time to restart esp cos it works great with #RubyOnWindows also.

It's easy to get started with #DuckDB (@duckdb) 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: https://notepad.onghu.com/2025/duck-db-windows-ruby/

#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: https://notepad.onghu.com/2024/ruby3.4-windows-day0-install-hello_world/

Happy New Year!

OK, crisis averted. It was an error installing psych & it gets sorted if you do a gem update.

Thanks to the stellar work of the @rails
and @rubylangorg teams, #Rails8 "just works" when running with #RubyOnWindows.

uh-oh...! #rails 8 failed to install on #windows for me - time to get deeper into it and figure out what went wrong!

I recently worked in #Rails 7.2.alpha using #Ruby 3.3 on regular #Windows, and some slowness aside, everything worked absolutely fine for my needs.

Thanks for doing such a great job, the Rails, Ruby, #RubyonWindows, RubyGems, SQLite3 and Puma teams.

(regular windows = no docker, no WSL2)

Thanks to the #RubyInstaller team, #Ruby 3.3 is already available on Windows. My illustrated guide to installing and running #RubyOnWindows is updated and available at: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/ruby3.3-windows-day0-install-hello_world/

#Rails 7.1 is out! I always like to check if it still works on #Windows. Thanks to the stellar work by the @rails, @rubylangorg & @JRuby teams, Rails 7.1 works fine on #Ruby 3.2 on Windows.

Btw, this post also resulted in 1 issue & 1PR.

#RubyOnWindows

Dear Matz
I was happy to see Lars Kanis nominated for the Ruby Prize. His work helps me alot. I pushed for Ruby in our small company. It now runs on dozens of windows servers shuffling orders and products around. Even Voice Actors of Switzerland use Ruby on windows. Pros use Windows too! 😉
