I think we're going to see a fork in the community, and I think heroku will end up supporting both MRI and rbx as equals.

- Xylakant 15y agoI don't think we'll see a fork. There will be some gems that support rbx only and some that are MRI only and some that require jruby. However, seeing how things go with jruby I'd expect that most of the code stays runtime agnostic and people will use whatever runtime suits the current problem best. Given that there's a ruby spec now I imagine we'll end up pretty much where javascript is: Multiple runtimes that all support pretty much the same code. Or have a look at java or c, there's more than one jvm and with good reason as well as multiple c compilers that all produce working code :) And yes, I do see heroku supporting both MRI and rbx as equals, but my point was that that's not replacing.
