What is alf-core?
Alf brings the relational algebra both in Shell and in Ruby. In Shell, because manipulating any relation-like data source should be as straightforward as a one-liner. In Ruby, because I've never understood why programming languages provide data structures like arrays, hashes, sets, trees and graphs but not _relations_... Let's stop the segregation ;-).
alf-core is a tool in the Languages category of a tech stack.

rake
Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby. Tasks and dependencies are specified in standard Ruby syntax. Rake has the following features: * Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?) * Users can specify tasks with prerequisites. * Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks. * Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths. * Supports parallel execution of tasks.
pry
An IRB alternative and runtime developer console.
rspec
BDD for Ruby.
