      • Ruby 1.8.6 will become the final maintenance release in the next year
    • Use Ruby 1.9.x

    • My first community attending is for "Generation 1991".
    • And now I'm attending some communities.
    • In RubyKaigi2011, I proposed String#prepend method, and accepted!
    • Now I have refined the parallel execution of Ruby-test.

      • That's Joyful!
      • I made a Ruby subcommittee in my company, and I held some ruby events in there.
      • Some people start to drop out, why?
        • There are programmers not being fun with programming, in enterprise domain.
        • I mistake a theme: series event, abstract theme
      • So I refine: ont time event, concrete theme
    3. Useful Ruby
      • To make own tools by Ruby does not spread the Ruby usage.
      • To make the tools for own team is useful!

      • CRuby is still running on 1-core.
      • But GC is not.
      • Parallel marking
      • Task steeling
      • Lock free
    • sweep with pop_top() and pop_bottom()
      • Many threads call pop_top() and pop_bottom()
