Hi @imDarshanGK ,

I would like to be assigned to Issues #54 and #55 regarding Ruby and Go language detection support.

I have already completed both implementations locally, including:

• Adding Ruby and Go detection patterns to LANG_SIGNATURES
• Adding the corresponding test cases in backend/tests/test_endpoints.py
• Verifying automatic language detection through the /explanation/ endpoint
• Running the test suite successfully

I also noticed that these issues have been assigned for some time, but I could not find any linked PRs or progress updates. I would appreciate being assigned so I can submit the completed PRs immediately.
