No. Why do you expect there to be one? Like I said, Ruby is a community project, there are no official committees behind it. The most common implementation (CRuby) is lead by the inventor of the language, Matsumoto. So you may view his decisions as the de facto standard. But in fact every implementation may change features, leave them out or add new ones. No commitee will sue them for it. > Is there a document somewhere that describes each implementation and > their differences? Not that I know of. As a rule of thumb, you can view CRuby as the reference implementation. Other implementations may not be completely up to date or miss specific features (but they may also introduce interesting new features). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
