Sapphire is not a replacement for Ruby, it’s not a ‘fork’ of Ruby. As a company we remain dedicated to supporting Ruby now and in the future. Sapphire is a new, highly encapsulated, language which will have a Ruby-like syntax but which, in many quite fundamental respects, will be significantly different from Ruby. Our implementation of Sapphire will run on the DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime) for .NET and it will incorporate some ‘special’ capabilities which we’ll blog about at a later date.
