Ruby is a dynamic object oriented programming language popular in the OSM project. See the Ruby homepage here.

The main server is implemented in Ruby (and the Ruby on Rails web framework). This is referred to as The Rails Port, since it was ported from a pure Ruby implementation. This includes the OpenStreetMap API, and web interface (pages appearing on www.openstreetmap.org, but does not include everything at wiki.openstreetmap.org and other subdomains. Also not written in Ruby are the embedded elements such as the JavaScript Slippy Map and iD editor, but the pages these appear on, are part of the Ruby on Rails web interface on Servers/www.
