Which is something that I'd regard as a major setback. Here in Europe, a solid encoding support is pretty much a must-have for any up-to-date programming language. There's much more than utf-8 and not being able to handle that is a deal-bre

I 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 peopl

My major problem with the people attacking svn is often that they dismiss that svn has a different set of features that may or may not suit your workflow better than git's. Every feature of git may be liability in some environments * I migh

Actually, I don't get what's wrong with using sudo for the use-case of installing an executable system-wide? In principle that's what every installer does, even the MacOS-installer when installing system-wide applications. The only other op

Interesting survey but with some flaws. Ruby seems to be reduced to "Rails" and "web". While this certainly is the majority of code being written, it's still by far not the only code. Testing a library with capybara or selenium is just not
