Great project!
A bit shocking to see how much ancient Ruby is in use. It is not like they massively change the language with every release like e.g. Swift. Probably breaking changes in Rails are a bigger blocker for updating to a new Ruby than Ruby itself?
- skunkworker 6y agoNew rails major and minor versions commonly lock the ruby version to a mature recent release, though this is not always intuitive. I can see a number of companies sticking on Ruby 2.2 because you can happily upgrade Rails from 3.2 to 5.2 while only changing to a minor bugfix release of 2.2.10. Rails 6 locks in at 2.5.0 which was over a year old at the time of the Rails 6 release. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9087116/which-ruby-on-rails-is-compatible-with-which-ruby-version https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9087116/which-ruby-on-ra...
