README
**I am Ukrainian. While Russian army invades Ukraine, kills, rapes, destructs, and steals,** [I am in Kharkiv, my homecity](https://zverok.space/blog/2022-03-15-STILL-WAR.html)
I am almost useless but I am volunteering to help those in need, and I am staying.
**UPD:** I've joined Ukrainian Armed Forces in March 2023.

Developer and writer from Ukraine. Ruby programming language committer.
**Mostly interested in lucid code and open data, and writing a [Substack](https://zverok.substack.com/) about it.** The range of “my” topics are united by an urge to understand and explain. Or, the problems of knowledge acquiring (with code) and expressing meaning (with code).
_Working on my first Ruby book, working title "[41 Ruby Intuitions](https://zverok.space/writing/#ruby-intuitions)"._
## Recent/interesting work
### Ruby programming language
* [Contributions to the language](https://zverok.space/ruby.html) (new features and docs)

### Fun and experiments
* [Grok {Shan, Shui}\*](https://zverok.substack.com/p/grok-shan-shui) ([repo](https://github.com/zverok/grok-shan-shui)): digging into the code of [{Shan, Shui}\*](https://github.com/LingDong-/shan-shui-inf) Chinese painting generator
