That's 9 years. I've used Ruby for almost as long, and on MRI at least, I can't think of anything as significant. (JRuby FTW) Think of c#'s evolution. Ruby's. JavaScript's. SQL's. 9 years isn't exactly blazingly aggressive, but in the context of a programming language it's not eyebrow raising either. I think generally that's a good thing.
