ruby 1.9.x is a fundamentally different language to 1.8.x, both in its 
implementation (YARV engine) and in its core behaviour (especially 
Strings which are totally different). I'm afraid the "minor" point 
revision is highly misleading.

Personally I much prefer the ruby 1.8 language, and that's what I'm 
sticking with. This is not an opinion shared by the majority here, but 
it's something you'll have to make your own mind up about.

If Rails ever goes 1.9-only, then I'll be dropping Rails.

Regards,

Brian.
