The current support for ruby has issues, many of which are documented in the bugs I pointed at. This does little more than address the issues. As a result of addressing them, some new things become possible (or at least easier), but it's not so much a new feature as a fix. > To me, Ruby looks like a rather specialized topic, which is essential in > some contexts, irrelevant in most, and quite difficult to understand.

The current version isn't simple and it's buggy. The new version does not introduce substantial additional complexity and removes the bugs (hopefully while not introducing too many new ones). We've been promising to deliver interoperable ruby on the Web for 17 years and counting. Quite a few people need this. It's about time we did it right. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
