Well, Ruby 1.9.0 landed yesterday, as expected. I’d be remiss if I didn’t start out by thanking matz, ko1, and all the other hackers involved in getting this milestone release out the door. It’s a great step for Ruby, and one that we’ve been waiting a long time for. The bad news is that 1.9.0 is just a development release branch leading up to 2.0, and it doesn’t yet run Rails or Mongrel.
