What version of Ruby use in SU API?
1.8.6-p287?

SketchUp 8
Released 9/1/2010

We upgraded our API's Ruby interpreter from version 1.8.0 to 1.8.6, which is a better supported, more stable version. This gives API users the benefits of hundreds of Ruby bug fixes, but version 1.8.6 is also more strict on Ruby syntax. If a script is broken, you may need to contact the script's original author to get an upgraded version.

Open the Ruby Console, and type RUBY_VERSION

I beginner of ruby, and I want to study modern language.

NO. SketchUp 8 and lower, cannot load Ruby 1.9.x and higher.
Currently you must stay in the Ruby 1.8.x trunk.
