World of Father of Ruby

Summary

Yukihiro Matsumoto, the creator of Ruby, shares his unique perspective on programming and life. He explains programming languages as essential tools that bridge human understanding with a computer's literal execution, enabling machines to perform assigned tasks. Matsumoto views software development as an iterative, collaborative process of maturing an incomplete product, a philosophy he extends to personal growth through communication and interaction. Despite his significant contributions to technology, he prioritizes his roles as a father and Christian, often working remotely and preferring recognition for his personal values. He currently serves as Chief Architect of Ruby at Heroku and a fellow at Rakuten Institute of Technology.

"I am Yukihiro Matsumoto, I believe keyboard can change the world" is a video about Father of Ruby -- Yukihiro Matsumoto. This video introduces us a father, a husband rather than a programmer.

Yukihiro Matsumoto shared his understanding about programming in this video. Computer is not quite smart, it cannot understand human languages, so if we want computers to complete jobs we assign to them, then we need something both human beings and computers can understand. That's why we have programming languages.

Yukihiro Matsumoto loves programming, but he loves his family more. He works at home lots of the time. He wants people to think him as a Christian and a father rather than a famous programmer. Yukihiro Matsumoto says that software development is a process to improve on an incomplete product to become mature. This process usually cannot be completed by just one person. Actually, life is also the same, he hopes to be more and more mature by communicating with his wife, his children, his colleagues and his neighbors.
