When will IronWorkers support Ruby 2.0?

Question

The default language version for ruby on IronWorkers is 1.9.3. When will it be bumped to 2.0?

http://dev.iron.io/worker/reference/environment/#default_languages_versions

Is there an easy way to upgrade to ruby 2.0 without too much delay when launching a task?

Thanks, Dimitri

Answer 1

[edit] You can now use multiple different language packs using our Stacks functionality as specified above. Also here's more info in the Iron.io dev center: http://dev.iron.io/worker/reference/environment/#default_language_versions

Currently no there is no way to use Ruby 2. We are working on a way to give users the ability to choose their language versions much easier, but there's no ETA at this point.

Iron Worker is finally supporting custom environments, one of which is Ruby 2.1: http://blog.iron.io/2014/03/ironio-launches-custom-runtime.html
