As mentioned at the #SFRuby meetup, I'm looking for your ancient #Ruby binaries!The oldest I have thus far is Ruby 1.4.0 on Cygwin and Ruby 1.6.2 for Cygwin, MS-DOS DJGPP, and mingw32.I know there are weirder platforms with official binaries. Ping your #Japanese #RubyFriends! :)My plans include running these on weird Japanese PCs at places that retro computers show up.
@jaredwhite yeah I think in the 00s. The ruby community back then was tiny but full of random interesting initiatives. E.g. I remember the Ruby Package Archive, which would have been a debian-like package system with maintainers instead of a "publish what you want" system like rubygems.Given the recent supply chain attack craze.. well maybe it was an idea worth pursuing.
