solidity-typed gem v0.1 (formerly known as rubidity-typed) - ruby ♥ solidity
Hello, i published a new version and renamed the gem formerly known as rubidity-typed to solidity-typed. the new blurb reads: solidity-typed - “zero-dependency” 100%-solidity compatible data type and application binary interface (abi) machinery incl. bool, (frozen) string, address, bytes, uint, int, enum, struct, array, mapping, event, and more for solidity-inspired contract (blockchain) programming languages incl. rubidity et al. and the FAQ on Why? says Why Not? or more serious answer here. PS: rubyist hate solidity. solidity programmers hate ruby. a perfect match! ruby ♥ solidity. join us in spreading the ruby love (in blockchain contract programming) ;-).

Bundler 2.4.20 understands .ruby-version files
Gemfiles have a ruby line that specifies a Ruby version, and most projects also have a .ruby-version file that duplicates this value. The good news is that now you can DRY this up with Bundler 2.4.20’s new Gemfile syntax, like this: ruby file: ".ruby-version". The asdf .tool-versions file is also supported. https://mattbrictson.com/blog/bundler-ruby-file

rubidity-typed gem - lets you use Mapping‹Address→UInt›.new or Array‹UInt›.new
Hello, in the ongoing rubidity series (type-safe “blockchain” programming with solidity compatible data types & abis in ruby) i uploaded a new “zero-dependency” rubidity-typed gem. What’s news? Now you can use (user-defined typed) structs and enums and with the new Types module / namespace TypedArray now becomes Array, and TypedString becomes String and so on and thanks to unicode “magic” you can even use Mapping‹Address→UInt›.new or Array‹UInt›.new for working / valid (typed) class names. it’s still (very) early. i invite you to join the fun and let’s explore and learn together. PS: See the crowdfunder contract (ruby script) to see (Rubidity) enums, structs, and more in action.

How to locate the source of a Ruby method
I noticed that it’s a repeating pain to figure out how to find where a specific method on a ruby object is defined, i.e. find its source code. And it’s actually very easy once you know. So I wrote about it and covered a few trickier cases as well: https://radanskoric.com/articles/locating-source-of-ruby-method
