Rubinius 2.0 released
> Concurrent and distributed applications aren't the future anymore, they are the present. They are vital to business success. The many talented developers that are passing over Ruby for Erlang, Go, Clojure and Node are draining Ruby of talent and vitality.As someone who has been working with MRI since 2006-ish, I feel this statement is accurate. MRI is stagnating around the GIL. Rails last lost some of it's edge and this is in part responsible. Since about 2011, I've invested into Erlang (elixir), and mostly NodeJS. They're truly communities that are evolving well, they are applying themselves well to new problems inherit to changes in application building demands.
