The RubyWorld Conference Executive Committee has set the date for this year's

biggest business conference in Japan RWC 2014 as mentioned below.

In February 2013, the programming language "Ruby" marked 20 years since its

development. Around the same time, Ruby 2.0 was released as a major version for

the first time in five years. Ruby is used in a variety of different scenarios

as it enters a new era.

Through this year's sixth RubyWorld Conference, Ruby, which continues to enter a

new stage of popularity, will offer everyone the opportunity to consider ways of

penetration as well as the permeation process and growth involved, as it aligns

itself with the real world of diversity.
