I’m going to give this live blogging thing a go. As of 14:52 PST, Evan announced that Rubinius runs irb. It hasn’t landed in the repository yet, but this is great news. Just a little while ago, we started with an irb wannabe. I guess a lot can happen in a year.

Congrats to Evan and all the fantastic Rubinius supporters and contributors.

UPDATE: So, I’m not a very good reporter. There’s some other very big news related to getting irb working. Evan checked in a working eval yesterday. Enjoy!
