as the subject goes, what’s the difference of ActiveRuby and “regular”
Ruby install? on windows, ActiveRuby defaults to C:\program files, while
“regular” ruby on c:\ruby.
do i need both if i use ruby as wsh script and doing “regular”
programming task?
First things first: there’s an ActiveRuby?! Well, not that noone saw it
coming
or anything. Actually, took ActiveState bloody long now that I think of
it.
Still, this is the first time I saw it mentioned at all.

I suppose very little. ActiveState tends to bundle some extra
Windows-specific
stuff along with its language distribution. Like the wsh integration,
possibly some other libs too. IIRC, their Python distro also had quite a
bit
of extra documentation bundled with it.

I doubt it. Whatever floats your boat, I say. I’d personally stick with
just
one myself to avoid version mixup lossage, even if that’s somewhat
unlikely.
