ruby server-side support: status, experience?
Hi guys,
The manual ("hello world" section) of version 3.2.1 says that ruby server-side is not implemented. What is the current status?
Anybody has experience to share about using ICE in ruby? in RoR?
Thanks,
ludo

The status remains the same... implementing server side support is quite tricky due to the lack of proper threading support for ruby extensions. Unless we have a customer who is willing to sponsor support it is doubtful that we'll add it any time soon0

It should be noted that Ruby 1.9 uses kernel threads instead of the old internal "green threads". Ruby 1.9 is far from stable or completely usable, but the feasibility of a server side IceRuby is probably now easier as people move into this version of Ruby.
That said, it still doesn't change the fact that someone will probably need to sponsor the development.0
