Ruby Dropped In Netbeans 7

Posted by timothy on from the other-shoe-dropping dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ruby/RoR in NetBeans made headlines three years ago, but after Sun was acquired by Oracle there where fears that support for dynamic languages would suffer, as this IDE would be downsized. This has become a reality, since as of version 7, NetBeans will no longer support Ruby."

    I used to like NetBeans at least as much as Eclipse, but with Oracle in charge, I'm not sure I can trust the future of anything from them that's free.

    Once again showing that using the demographic you're in as sample leads to bad conclusions more often than not.
