About
Ruby is an interpreted, object-oriented, open-source programming language designed for simplicity and productivity, commonly used for web development.
It features a pure object model where everything is an object, dynamic typing, automatic memory management with garbage collection, and a standard library with over 100 built-in modules for tasks such as file handling, networking, and data processing.
Swift is a high-level, compiled programming language created by Apple as a modern replacement for Objective-C for building applications across iOS and macOS.
It features automatic memory management, strong static typing with type inference, protocol-oriented programming, closures, and generics, supports interoperability with existing 
C and C++ codebases, includes built-in package management, and compiles to native code.
