Getting Comfortable With Rubinius’ Pure-Ruby Internals

This is a really good read. It is fascinating to see how cleverly designed and engineered Rubinius is. I've been following it from early on, and they have made tremendous strides. The new 1.2.1 is a fun to use, solid Ruby implementation.

I'm more and more impressed by Yehuda's ability to translate technology.

While cooking last night, I listened to The Pipleine, Dan Benjamin's podcast with John Siracusa that episode's guest. John and Yehuda feel like long-lost cousins. The dudes are in the trenches rooting around interpreters and instruction sets. Then, they give the rest of us quasi-nerds something to grab on to.
