Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. Run code snippet or code file for multiple languages: C, C, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Perl, Perl 6, Ruby, Go, Lua, Groovy, PowerShell, BAT/CMD. Note that the rvm: key is only available in Ruby Build Environments, not in other images containing a ruby implementation. As we upgrade both RVM and Rubies, aliases like 2.2 or jruby point to different exact versions and patch levels.

Television[edit]
Tandoh was a contestant on the fourth series of The Great British Bake Off. She reached the all-women final and finished runner-up to Frances Quinn.[4]
Writing career[edit]
She has written three books: Crumb: The Baking Book in 2014, Flavour: Eat What You Love in 2016[5] and Eat Up: Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want in 2018. Eat Up explores aspects of food culture, such as eating disorders (which Tandoh suffered from in her teenage years), the wellness craze, food snobbery and pleasure of food.[6]
She was a writer for The Guardian,[7] but announced in June 2018 that she would stop, citing the 'elitist' nature of the industry.[8] By March the following year she was again writing occasional articles for the paper.[9][10]
Along with her wife, Leah Pritchard, Tandoh co-founded Do What You Want, a zine about mental health. All profits from the zine go to charities and non-profits.[11]
Personal life[edit]
Tandoh lives with her wife, Leah Pritchard, in Sheffield, where they married in a low-key ceremony on 31 August 2018.[12]
Tandoh has spoken out about her struggles with eating disorders, criticising the bodyshaming common in 'wellness' culture and advocating a healthier, more positive approach to food writing.[13] She was voted the Great British Bake Off's favourite past contestant by the Radio Times audience in 2016.[14]
In 2020, Tandoh identified herself as bisexual in a tweet.[15]
