Nice, it has really improved since I tried it last. Way faster.


Sometimes faster than other new Ruby VMs: http://twitter.com/avibryant/status/6073999000

It's a really exciting time for Ruby programmers! Too bad I don't get paid to write (much) Ruby these days.


Here is the getting started page: http://rubini.us/download.html


This may seem like a dumb question, but what's the point? Is it just some kind of turtles all the way down exercise?


The main goal is to produce a Ruby implementation with a good high-level design and an accessible implementation. This will make it easier to optimize the implementation, and to experiment with changes to the implementation or the language. Unlike some other Ruby implementations, Rubinius also intends to be compatible with C extensions written for MRI.
