I always thought Ruby used Git (https://github.com/ruby/ruby https://github.com/ruby/ruby), but this links to an SVN repo. What's up with that?

  The official Ruby repository is still on svn, as all the tooling is implemented on top of it. ruby/ruby is the official mirror on github and does accept pull requests, etc.

  I've talked with one of the core devs, who has said that the primary reason they haven't switched is of them use Windows.

    Which is reasonably ironic considering Ruby's reputation for running on Windows (which has taken major third party efforts to get it to work in any sane way).

  It's pretty ridiculous that Ruby still uses Subversion yeah.
