It's not. At the very least, you'll want to upgrade to a 1.9 version of Ruby - even in 10.7, I'm pretty sure it still comes out of the box with 1.8.7.

Also, most of the Ruby or Rails developers I know use either rvm or rbenv to have multiple versions of Ruby installed side by side.

I run Rails 3.2.3 with Ruby 1.8.7 on Snow Leopard without problems :)

Right, and that's the last release series that will support 1.8.7. Thus, you'll want Ruby 1.9 eventually. Besides Rails compatibility, 1.9 is faster, includes lots of nice new syntaxes and methods for doing things, better encoding support, etc.

Also, 1.8.7 EOL is so close that you should not choose it for new projects.

My MacBook EOL is also very close, I'm waiting for the new Apple hardware releas. I'll switch them both together : Christmas waaaaay before Christmas.
