From 10c0625d5ca342a70b87e8f467c6f16f8e74c44d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: taca Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2004 14:11:15 +0000 Subject: Initial import of ruby18 package; Ruby 1.8.1 + several security fixes. Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible. Detail changes from Ruby 1.6.8 is huge and I know details in Ruby's site. Sadly, this is written in Japanese and I don't know where is English version. --- lang/ruby18/DESCR | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) create mode 100644 lang/ruby18/DESCR (limited to 'lang/ruby18/DESCR') diff --git a/lang/ruby18/DESCR b/lang/ruby18/DESCR new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..984ff4d31ee --- /dev/null +++ b/lang/ruby18/DESCR @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and +easy object-oriented programming.
