Cast your mind back to the year 1995. Gansta’s Paradise is the top hit of the year. Friends is the hottest show on TV.

And just days after I turn nine, Matz releases Ruby publicly for the first time.

In this talk I go back to Ruby 0.95 and see what it takes to get it running on modern hardware.

Matias has been writing Ruby for almost a decade and in his spare time he’s a beer enthusiast and general internet astronaut.
