Caveat is that while the Ruby implementation on top may not be 100% compatible with standard ruby (again I can't comment) the underlying technology is bulletproof, these guys have been doing object persistance w/ very high tps for 25+ years
This is an exciting technology, and if I worked with ruby at all, I would definitely be checking it out.
