JetBrains releases RubyMine 1.0

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC: JetBrains, the creators of intelligent, productivity-enhancing development tools, recently announced the general availability of RubyMine 1.0, the company's new IDE for productive Ruby and Rails development.

"Despite the belief that most Ruby/Rails developers are happy writing code in simple text editors, we had RubyMine downloaded around 25,000 times since the Public Preview announcement. Early RubyMine adopters provided a great deal of feedback and worthy improvement suggestions," said Dmitry Jemerov, the RubyMine lead developer.

"We are certain that, as with all of our highly-intelligent development tools, Ruby developers can be extremely productive by using RubyMine. In fact, version 1.0 is just the beginning, we have tons of ideas and plans for new releases."

One of RubyMine's key advantages is its deep understanding of the Ruby language's specifics, its dynamic nature, and code conventions.

RubyMine performs a comprehensive analysis of project code and offers developers code insight and code completion suggestions that no other Ruby/Rails IDE does.

Based on its knowledge of the internals of the Rails framework, RubyMine provides a range of effective Rails-aware refactorings, which greatly simplifies making changes to the code.

JetBrains' flagship product, IntelliJ IDEA, has always been highly praised for its web development capabilities, such as great HTML, CSS and JavaScript editing support. RubyMine builds upon these capabilities with its own amazing features for Ruby and Rails developers. Its web-authoring strengths are a great match for an easier and more productive web development with Ruby on Rails.
