It is not the fault of matz or the people here if you use examples
that have a typo in their "def initialize".

You should learn ruby on your own rather than copy / paste examples
that never worked. But if these examples worked, then you should
avoid making typos.

Some beginners learn easy, some not. If you blame Ruby first rather
than the decision of the beginner in question then you make a mistake.

I can tell you how I learned ruby:

By writing ruby scripts. Many.

It is really the only way to get better in ruby.

Write as much as you can, solve as many problems as you can.
