Currently, there are at least FIVE actively developed Ruby implementations out there in the wild. Having that many implementations, despite all the good things, also brings a new set of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is the compatibility. Some are even starting to say “balkanization” word. (You know who you are!) That’s where RubySpecs come in. The great promise of the RubySpecs is to provide a unified compatibility and conformance test suite, universally used by all Ruby implementations.
