Ruby Style Guide & RuboCop

Ruby uses 2-space indentation (unlike most other languages that use 4) as defined in the community Ruby Style Guide and enforced by RuboCop, the most widely used Ruby static analysis tool. Ruby has two block syntaxes: do/end for multi-line blocks and {} for single-line blocks. The Style Guide recommends do/end for blocks that span multiple lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Ruby community converged on 2-space indentation historically, likely influenced by Matz's (Ruby's creator) own style and the early Rails codebase. Unlike Python where 4 spaces is mandatory per PEP 8, Ruby's 2-space convention is community consensus. RuboCop enforces 2 spaces by default.
Both define blocks (closures), but they have different precedence. {} binds more tightly than do/end, which matters when chaining methods. By convention, use {} for single-line blocks and do/end for multi-line blocks. This is enforced by RuboCop.
Symbols (:name) are immutable, interned identifiers — every reference to :name points to the same object in memory, making them faster for comparisons and hash keys. Strings are mutable and each creation allocates a new object. Use symbols for hash keys, method names, and identifiers; use strings for user-facing content.
Done!
