Ruby 124c41+
summary
Ruby aims for concrete wins: 988 exabytes in 2010 motivates scale; plan moves from single-thread GC to multiple VMs per process, improved GC, JITs, and even ahead‑of‑time compile/MPI for HPC. MessagePack and distributed queues target multicore and cluster use. A Toshiba DVD recorder prototype running Ruby demonstrates embedding works. AtomicRuby prototypes pluggable GC/strings; selector namespaces and traits limit global monkeypatching; lazy enumerators return streams not full arrays, trading speed for memory when needed.
