For what it's worth, JRuby will support both 1.8 and 1.9 in the same 
distribution:

➔ jruby -help
Usage: jruby [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
   -0[octal]       specify record separator (, if no argument)
   -a              autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into $F)
...
   --1.8           specify Ruby 1.8.x compatibility (default)
   --1.9           specify Ruby 1.9.x compatibility
   --version       print the version
