2011 is either going to suck or be awesome depending on how quickly the new Ruby 1.9 features are taken up by Rubinius and JRuby.

Having to choose between multiple threads and a better language is really not a decision you should have to make.

--1.9 mode works really well under JRuby now - that was a big push within 1.6 and they've made a lot of progress. I'd call it "almost there".

Rubinius is a little bit further behind, but I've been able to run our Goliath stack on it, and that exercises quiet a few syntactic changes. So, I think both are close.
