remore opened a new pull request #3725: Add Ruby2.5 runtime support
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/3725
 
 
   This PR adds a new ruby:2.5 kind to allow Ruby methods like this:
   
   ```
   def main(param)
     { :result => param.upcase }
   end
   ```
   
   ## Description
   This PR is quite similar to #2415, but this time I did it in Ruby. I do believe there are certain number of developers who'd love to pick Ruby as a primary language (see #2046 for an instance).
   
   Currently Ruby runtime is tentatively hosted at [remore/openwhisk-runtime-ruby](https://github.com/remore/openwhisk-runtime-ruby), but needless to say I'd love to move/transfer this to anywhere The Apache Software Foundation manage.
