Hi guys,

this morning I published a post entitled “This Week in Ruby” in which  
I outline some of the highlights from the Ruby and Rails communities  
throughout the past week. If people find it interesting, I plan to  
publish a new version approximatively each week (trying to stick to  
Mondays).

You can read it here:

>
> One of the main advantages of Ruby’s growing community, is the speed at which exciting news pops up. This post briefly covers must-read highlights for new developments in the Ruby and Rails communities throughout the past week. I’ll attempt to repeat...

Cheers,  
Antonio

Nice! But I don’t think it is true that HotRuby is faster than Ruby 1.9.  
Definitively not :). I don’t know where this assumption comes from.

Regards,

Michael

Excellent. I keep up on my newsfeeds regularly, but it’s nice to see  
everything put together and explained quite well. If you keep this up  
it’ll become one of my regular reads. Thanks!
