Ruby Implementers Panel
summary
Cardinal targets Parrot with a small VM prototype and JIT and garbage collection work under way; Parrot reports JIT speedups twice as fast to five times as fast on some Perl workloads. Ruby CLR focuses on automatic marshalling and an interoperating calling convention so CLR and Ruby types coexist. Reinius aims for 1.0 by October, full Ruby 1.8.5 compliance and Rails 1.2 support. JRuby and others trade compatibility, threading and eval edge cases, and real-world benchmarks versus MRI.
