[...] Rubinius is an alternate implementation that, rather then interpreting Ruby code, turns it into efficient machine code. It current supports MRI 1.8.7 but 1.9.2 support is not ready for prime time. See this post on looking under the hood about what makes Rubinius fast. [...]

Has anybody looked into whether rubinious uses less RAM?
It might be handy when you are hosting multiple rails apps.

Could a future post describe more details of the execution engine of Rubinius? Things like the choice of stack-based bytecode, stack layout, and how these affect the interaction with LLVM, etc. Would really love to see more of thses geeky posts LOL
Keep up the good work, guys! Looking forward to 1.0 release

Sounds like the approach is similar to Self-93, which I seem to recall worked quite well.

Ruby is a wonderful language and it's awesome to hear about JIT support for it. I should start paying more attention to the Rubinius project now.
