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

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

[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.
