Rubinius is an alternative Ruby implementation created by Evan Phoenix. Based loosely on the Smalltalk-80 Blue Book design,[1] Rubinius seeks to "provide a rich, high-performance environment for running Ruby code."[2]
Goals
Rubinius follows in the LISP tradition[3] by natively implementing as much of Ruby as possible with Ruby code.[4]
It also has a goal of being thread-safe in order to be able to embed more than one interpreter in a single application. Rubinius does not currently meet this goal due to some components borrowed from the mainline Ruby interpreter[2].
Sponsorship
Engine Yard funds two full time engineers to work exclusively on Rubinius.[5]
