+# Output Bytecode For A Ruby Program
+
+The `ruby` CLI comes with a flag to dump the disassembled YARV bytecode for the
+given Ruby program. This can be a fun way to explore how a Ruby program is
+interpreted under the hood.
+
+Aaron Patterson demoed this behavior during his RubyConf 2024 talk.
+
+Pass the `--dump` flag with `insns` along with either the path to your file or
+an inline bit of Ruby.
+
+Here is a really basic example:
+
+```bash
+❯ ruby --dump=insns -e '2 + 3'
+== disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,5)> (catch: false)
+0000 putobject                              2                         (   1)[Li]
+0002 putobject                              3
+0004 opt_plus                               <calldata!mid:+, argc:1, ARGS_SIMPLE>[CcCr]
+0006 leave
+```
+
+And another quite basic example, but with local variables this time:
+
+```bash
+❯ ruby --dump=insns -e 'x = 2; y = 3; x + y'
+== disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,19)> (catch: false)
+local table (size: 2, argc: 0 [opts: 0, rest: -1, post: 0, block: -1, kw: -1@-1, kwrest: -1])
+[ 2] x@0        [ 1] y@1
+0000 putobject                              2                         (   1)[Li]
+0002 setlocal_WC_0                          x@0
+0004 putobject                              3
+0006 setlocal_WC_0                          y@1
+0008 getlocal_WC_0                          x@0
+0010 getlocal_WC_0                          y@1
+0012 opt_plus                               <calldata!mid:+, argc:1, ARGS_SIMPLE>[CcCr]
+0014 leave
+```

+outputs, I'd recommend checking out this [Advent of YARV
