I am writing a report on the language Ruby, and I was wondering if  
anyone can give me some help. I have been researching the language and  
I can’t seem to find a good evolution of the language. I know it was  
formed with the programmer in mind, I know some of the history, I know  
when it was made public. But I can’t find a chronological history of  
the language, the advancements and evolutions through each version  
released,the compiler, the runtime environment. Any information or  
links someone could send me on these topics or any other interesting  
facts about the language would be greatly appreciated. I have never  
used the language and would like to learn as much as possible, not only  
for this report, but also to learn, understand, and advance my knowledge  
of computing in general. Any new languages I learn helps me become a  
better programmer. Please e-mail me at removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

Thanks in advance for any helpful and/or useful information,
