The two lines above work great. What's the difference when compared
with the following solution:
;; make ruby-mode available to emacs
(require 'ruby-mode)
;; autodetect mode by extension
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append
'(
("\\.rb\\'" . ruby-mode)
;; append any other modes here
)
auto-mode-alist))
The auto-mode-alist configuration is significantly longer in this
case.
