Is this gem any good?

I am Ukrainian. While Russian army invades Ukraine, kills, rapes, destructs, and steals, I am in Kharkiv, my homecity

I am almost useless but I am volunteering to help those in need, and I am staying.

UPD: I've joined Ukrainian Armed Forces in March 2023.

Developer and writer from Ukraine. Ruby programming language committer.

Mostly interested in lucid code and open data, and writing a Substack about it. The range of “my” topics are united by an urge to understand and explain. Or, the problems of knowledge acquiring (with code) and expressing meaning (with code).

Working on my first Ruby book, working title "41 Ruby Intuitions".

Recent/interesting work

Ruby programming language

• Contributions to the language (new features and docs)
• Ruby Changes: annotated changelog; writing about working on it: 1, 2, 3
• Ruby Reference: an attempt to render automated friendly language reference from official docs

Open data

• Working to an API to the world's common knowledge (based on Wikipedia/Wikidata, but not limited to it):
  • First (discontinued) attempt: molybdenum-99 set of Ruby projects
  • Second (current) attempt: WikipediaQL Python library; writing on it: 0, 1, 2, TBC
• Spylls: Python spellchecker, almost full port of Hunspell; an explanatory port to understand/show how it works. Series of articles: Rebuilding the spellchecker

Some Ruby libraries

• time_calc: idiomatic, no-monkeypatching Time/Date math
• saharspec: set of extensions for RSpec for DRYer specs
• the_schema_is: ActiveRecord models annotation done right
• yard-junk: YARD docs linter
• whatthegem: Console tool for fetching information about gems (stats, usage, recent changes)
• sho: Experimental "post-framework" views library

Fun and experiments

• Grok {Shan, Shui}* (repo): digging into the code of {Shan, Shui}* Chinese painting generator
• Game of Life in one Ruby statement... inspired by APL (repo)

New feature: get the dependent gems of a particular gem

Getting the names of the gems that use a given gem and the version number of the gem that the dependents use is useful information for gem writers. It would also be great to provide details about the proportion of the downloads of the dependent with a given gem to see which dependent gem is most important by number of downloads.

You may want to make a feature...

... that would analyze all the gems specified in Gemfile and print these numbers as a table.
Probably the specified/resolved version of gem would matter too.

Octokit::InvalidRepository for carrierwave

This gem (any_good) is going to be helpful, thanks. ❤️

It worked for the first few gems I tried, then I got this error:

When a gem is not found...it errors

Haven't had a chance to dig through the whole code but maybe the error when it can't find the gem should be more like "Gem no found".
