This script will find out the age (date of release) of all gems in your project and print this out together with yearly summary stats. The format of both output parts usually obeys the CSV format so that you can paste it in your spreadsheet and make a chart of it.

Typical output:

$ ruby ruby_gems_age.rb
actioncable,6.0.0.rc1,2019-04-24
actionmailbox,6.0.0.rc1,2019-04-24
actionmailer,6.0.0.rc1,2019-04-24
actionpack,6.0.0.rc1,2019-04-24
...
webpacker,3.5.5,2018-07-09
websocket-driver,0.7.1,2019-06-10
websocket-extensions,0.1.4,2019-06-10
will_paginate,3.1.7,2019-03-18
xpath,3.2.0,2018-10-15
zeitwerk,2.1.9,2019-07-16

Yearly summary:
2014,8,acts-as-dag ...
2015,6,coffee-script ...
...
2019,115,actioncable ...
