Carl Mercier has forked our “Is it Ruby 1.9” web app to make “Is it JRuby“, to track which gems work with JRuby. This is how free software is supposed to work!
For those of you not in the know, JRuby is a Java implementation of Ruby, allowing you to run Ruby code on a Java Runtime Environment. If you’re using or playing with JRuby, head over to isitjruby.com with your feedback.
Carl’s Github project is here and our original is here.
By now you will all have heard of the release of Ruby 1.9.1 – the first, stable, production-ready release of the next-generation Ruby interpreter. This has a number of enhancements; RubyGems is bundled with the interpreter, native threads are used instead of green threads and we have a general performance boost all round (amongst many others).
However, there is a significant barrier to Ruby 1.9 adoption; the compatibility of the gems that we have all come to depend on.
Which is why we’ve launched isitruby19.com - a site that tracks gems and lists whether they are 1.9 compatible. Each time you come across a gem that works for you, drop by and leave a comment, so we all get a feel for which gems need some work and which are ready today.
