Support for Ruby 1.9.3 will end on February 23, 2015

With many apps stuck on DataMapper, thus ruby 1.9 - I can&#x27;t help but think: why do programming languages evolve so quickly? I suppose the language must be the slowest moving part in the architecture...Due to immense competitiveness from other languages, all language designers rush ahead to add more and more versions..<p>I wish, Python&#x2F;Ruby moved slower and focus on non-visible or backwards compatible improvements

Whenever I see how fast Ruby goes I remind myself of all those job offers for AS&#x2F;400 programmers. I&#x27;m glad the Ruby crowd moves ahead so fast. We never get to work on a stale project.

Glad to hear this! We just finished migrating a 2.3 monorail on ree to 1.9.3 a month ago. Good to know we have 13 months of coverage. I heard a few rumors lately that this wasn&#x27;t the case.

I just hope they clear some bugs that restrict Windows Ruby Installer to release Ruby 2.1 in Windows.<p><a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rubyinstaller/8Je3OEbtb3w" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;groups.google.com&#x2F;forum&#x2F;#!topic&#x2F;rubyinstaller&#x2F;8Je3OE...</a>

Announcing Python 3.0. Support for Python 2.X will end on January 1, 2114 :P<p>Ok that was a silly joke, but seriously this is a good change and 2.1 is awesome. Keep moving Ruby forward!

When I saw that 2.1 was released the other day, I took 5 minutes to upgrade my app (mainly building from source and removing some unsupported gems from my Gemfile). I was happily surprised that my app booted 30% faster, and the entire application was noticeably faster, especially the Ruby-intensive pieces obviously. Anyone that can upgrade to 2.1 and doesn&#x27;t is hurting themselves!
