I am probably understanding incorrectly, but just for a quick statement - I am using ruby since many years because I think it is a truly great programming language. I am not interested per se in grand ISO specifications or similar, I am more eager to see how the language evolves rather than how it gets taken into business rooms or to Spec teams. Ruby 2.0 not before 2013 sounds as if Ruby has completely grinded to a halt. I simply do not understand your reasoning and I regard it as wrong. (For the record though, in future retrospect ... it will be interesting who of us was incorrect about the release dates :) ) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
