mruby: AltRuby
summary
Claim: mruby is an embeddable minimalistic modular Ruby implemented in C99 with an incremental generational garbage collector, a bytecode compiler (mrbc), mrbtest, and a static gem system (mrb-gem / mrbj am) that currently hosts 129 mrb gems. It drops heavy Ruby features (no keyword args, no bignum or refinements), offers non‑boxing and modular builds, runs on bare metal, Raspberry Pi and micro‑satellites, and reports usable performance and successful prototypes.
