The new Rubinius Team

Posted by ezmobius Wed, 05 Dec 2007 23:58:00 GMT

We’re having a Rubinius Sprint here at Engine Yard’s new San Francisco headquarters this week. Lot’s of great hacking going on. I’m am super excited about the future of Rubinius.

But the awesome news is that Ryan Davis (zenspider) and Eric Hodel (drbrain) have been officially hired to work on Rubinius full time along with Evan.

And Starting in January, Wilson Bilkovich (Defiler) and Brian Ford (brixen) will also start doing paid work on rubinius.

I feel that rubinius has a very important role to play in the future of Ruby as a language. I can’t say enough how stoked I am that EngineYard is able to do this. We were just a tiny startup with 6 servers a year and a half ago ;)

Go Rubinius!

    Can't thank you enough for the commitment to Rubinius, it looks like it will have a very bright future. Merb and the ecosystem evolving around it are a huge boon to the Ruby community as well
