You may want to email Matz directly to request that information. I
suspect it exists, but that much of the earlier stuff is in Japanese
only.
Also, there is no Ruby 'compiler'. There's also no 'runtime
environment', though if you mean a virtual machine, one is coming for
Ruby 2.0 (YARV).

Subject: Ruby history
I am writing a report on the language Ruby, and I was wondering if
anyone can give me some help. I have been researching the
language and
I can't seem to find a good evolution of the language. I know it was
formed with the programmer in mind, I know some of the
history, I know
when it was made public. But I can't find a chronological history of
the language, the advancements and evolutions through each version
released,the compiler, the runtime environment. Any information or
links someone could send me on these topics or any other interesting
facts about the language would be greatly appreciated. I have never
used the language and would like to learn as much as
possible, not only
for this report, but also to learn, understand, and advance
my knowledge
of computing in general. Any new languages I learn helps me become a
better programmer. Please e-mail me at cschweitzer@cfl.rr.com
Thanks in advance for any helpful and/or useful information,
Craig Robert Schweitzer University of Central Florida
Also, there is no Ruby 'compiler'
Dan
I thought there was a way to compile Ruby into an executable (similar, but
better than, Perl's perlcc), or did I misread an email thread that went by a
while back?
Thank you very much for your help...do you know how to contact Matz
directly? Do you know his e-mail or any other way of contacting him?
Thanks again,
Craig

I believe you're thinking of either exerb or rubyscriptexe, which only work for Windows (or Linux). They aren't 'compilers' per se.

I remember finding a way to package a Ruby program in an executable, but it wasn't a compiler, it just packed the Ruby interpreter along with the Ruby source into the .exe.

Well, he reads this list, so there's a fair chance he'll see this
post. If you don't want to wait, give him a shot here:

The best answer to most questions is "it depends".
Yep, I just went back and looked, its just a collector: RubyScript2Exe. My
bad...

Thank you all very much. I might ask a question about how to write an
certain example program in a little while. Is that okay on this forum,
or is there a better place for me to ask for help?
