rubinius–又一个Ruby的虚拟机

为什么要开发rubinius：

* Why?: The current Ruby interpreter powers many high traffic
sites and enterprise projects, but a faster, more maintainable
interpreter would be a huge benefit to current and future Ruby
projects.

* Why not YARV?: Matz has expressed support for other Ruby
interpreters and has said that YARV has a difficult task since the
specs of Ruby 1.9/2.0 are not finalized yet (mentioned in this
interview). Rubinius is targeting the current Ruby 1.8 series and is
using the existing interpreter to bootstrap the project.

* When will it be done?: There is no timeline. It may take 6
months, 6 years, or never. The idea is to put resources behind this
project so progress can be made.

我的感受：

1、支持bytecode；

2、由于1的原因，支持代码加密，可以吸引企业／商业等对知识产权敏感的用户；

3、更简单的Ruby解释器内核，维护更容易；

4、YARV就算可以运行Ruby2.0,还是有很多问题
