how many Ruby 1.8 users left?

how many Ruby 1.8 users left?

[Eric Wong]

Hi all, just wondering how many users are still on Ruby 1.8.  unicorn
still supports 1.8 for now, but going 1.9.3+ (or even 2.0.0+) will allow
us to kill some old code we've been keeping around...

Fwiw, "enterprise" distros (e.g. CentOS 6.x) will remain supported by
their distributors for many years into the future; and maybe some
people still run legacy frameworks.

On the other hand, I don't expect unicorn to change much and maybe they
can just use the old versions.

Fwiw, a user practically begged me to continue supporting 1.8 on one
non-Rack project last year, but perhaps the Rack world moves faster...

Thanks for reading.

We're still on 1.8, with no concrete plans to migrate yet. Having said that, I'm not going to get in a flap about not being supported going forward - I don't see why our technical debt should be imposed on others!

It's a repost, since my iPhone mail client sent garbage. Sorry about that.

I still maintain an old internal Rails 2.3 app with no plans to upgrade.

Exactly.

I'd be happy to have a faster/smaller Unicorn for my recent Ruby 1.9/2.0 apps.

Thanks for making Unicorn
