Version of Ruby

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.

Yes on PC (but not on Mac)

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.
