Ruby version for Chef

Question

Can Chef support newer versions of Ruby i.e. 2.0.0? If not , is there a reason why?

If you install chef using the omnibus installer it comes with its own embedded copy of ruby. Best to use this and keep a clean separation between Ruby for running apps and ruby for running chef. — Mark O'Connor, Nov 19 '13 at 20:35

Chef 11.6+ supports Ruby 2.0. Versions less than that will only work on Ruby 1.8 and 1.9.
