Closure, from Why_ the Lucky Stiff
I'll take this opportunity to link to Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby - https://poignant.guide - one of the most unique and inspiring programming language tutorials you'll ever read.
- Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby
- What are some good free resources to learn Rails?
-
Where to begin learning Ruby
Why's Guide is also pretty fun, but it is definitely a bit non-traditional in terms of programming books: https://poignant.guide/

The best language tutorials that you have seen?
Tutorials? Probably hands down the best was Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby.

I’m trying coding
To whatever extent a programming manual can be RS-adjacent, this one is: https://poignant.guide/

“So, what’s next?” - do we really do better in the Ruby world?
WhyTheLuckyStiff wrote the infamous Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby. Just off the top of my head, Why put out a lot of open source projects. People where not kind to his code or him so he deleted all of his repos and moved off of Ruby.

Closure, from Why_ the Lucky Stiff
A few weeks/months before _why published this book, this page appeared on his "public print queue" on his site, hinting that the print queue would become active on April 18: https://github.com/steveklabnik/CLOSURE/blob/master/PDF/DESO...
A day or two before April 18, this page appeared containing a hand-written OCaml script you could use to hook up your own printer to _why's public print queue: https://github.com/steveklabnik/CLOSURE/blob/master/PDF/HOME...
On April 18, a bunch of us gathered in an IRC chat room (https://viewsourcecode.org/why/CLOSURE/ircLog.html). A few of us got the script working on our machines, and so every 10-15 minutes our printers would suddenly start up and print the next page as _why slowly published them one at a time throughout the day. Steve Klabnik gathered all the pages into one PDF and gave it the name "CLOSURE".
This article does a good job of giving more context around the book itself (as well as a partial summary): https://kev.town/2013/04/30/why-did-why-the-lucky-stiff-quit...

_why's Estate
I like to think he addressed this when he reappeared a few years later:
"Now I want to make it perfectly clear that these papers and all my other works in life belong to the general public. In fact, I also would like to turn myself over to all of you as well. This was actually done several years ago, but in an embarrassingly disorganized manner." - https://github.com/steveklabnik/CLOSURE/blob/master/PDF/DISC...
