Rubinius - What Have You Done For Me Today?
summary
Rubinius hits 1.0 and promises concrete benefits not just promises: a VM with an API‑driven bytecode compiler that lets other languages like Fancy run on its bytecode, a profiler that pinpoints sleep vs CPU time, a query agent plus console to grab remote backtraces and trigger a heap dump, and instance‑variable layout changes that shrink a sample memory use from ~120MB to ~80MB. It runs Rails 2.3 and tracks Rails 3 head and aims for 1.9 and full concurrency.
