There is some very cool embedded and device stuff going on at #RubyWorld. TIL about PRK firmware for custom keyboards, mRuby-c, PicoRuby, and more. I feel a bit of an interloper with my MicroPython bias - I'll have to check some of this stuff out...
Next week I'll be heading to Japan 🇯🇵 to keynote at #RubyWorld 🙂 my schedule will not allow me to travel far from the venue, but if you are coming to the event, say hi! https://2024.rubyworld-conf.org/en/
I had custom stickers made, specially as gifts for #RubyWorld attendees!
Observation - the birdsite, under its original name, appears to remain sticky here in Japan despite the relative popularity of federated alternatives, and reported growth of Bluesky. It makes me slightly sad to see Twitter usernames on slides at #RubyWorld 😞
Here's how and why I gave it all up and moved on to better things - despite lots of followers, and a long history with the platform.

I should have done more research when I spoke about Mastodon client apps in my #RubyWorld talk, I mentioned that SoraSNS is made in Japan... of course, so are Feather, Subway Tooter, Dawn, ZonePane, TootDesk and maybe even more that I missed mentioning. I love the diverse range of apps that are available for different cultures and preferences! Thank you to the developer community in Japan! -> https://joinmastodon.org/apps
I noticed that a lot of the speakers at #RubyWorld use presentation software called Rabbit. Adding to my list to investigate! https://rabbit-shocker.org/

Mr Shugo Maeda asking for the conference attendees to show support for the Fediverse and decentralised social web! Arigatou gozaimasu 🙏🏻#RubyWorld
Nothing but admiration for the interpreters who cover tech conferences. So much lingo and terminology, and also as speakers we are not always all the most concise and on-point! Thank you to the translation team at #RubyWorld!
