+    <p>
+      Ruby is the better tool to do the job. Any software job that is. We who use ruby daily do so because it is 
+      more productive, better in almost every way. The only downside is speed and we argue that with cheap resources.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Why it has taken this long to even seriously attempt a ruby implementation in ruby is due to the overwhelming
+      influence of C (folks).
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Just a short and subjective list of why ruby is the better tool:
+      <ul>
+        <li>More fun. Ask anyone :-) </li>
+        <li>Lets you focuss on the task</li>
+        <li>Elegant, both in syntax and solution</li>
+        <li>Understandable</li>
+        <li>Much faster to code</li>
+      </ul>

+      Rails has evolved tremendously from what was already a good start. All the development <em>around</em> it has nurtured 
+      ruby developement in all areas. Rails and all those parts make up the most mature and advanced software system 
+      i know.
+    </p>
+    <p> The "rails effect" is due to the accessibility of the system, imho. Ie it is written in ruby.</p>
+    <p> Ruby itself has not enjoyed this rails effect, and that is because it is written in C (or c++) </p>
+    <p> It is my firm belief that given a vm in ruby, ruby development will "take off" too. In other words, given an 
+      easy way to improve his tools, a developer will do so. Easy means understandable and that means ruby for a 
+      ruby developer

+    <h2 class="center">Step to Indepencance</h2>
+    <p>
+      The first thing any decent compiler does, is compile itself. It is the maturity test of a language to implement 
+      itself in itself, and the time has come for ruby. The mark of growing up is being independant, in ruby's case of C.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Having just learned Assembler, i can attest what a great improvement C is over Assembler. 
+      But that was then and it is not just chance that developemnt has been slow in the last 50 years.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      There is this attitude C believers elude and since they are the gatekeepers of the os,
+      everyone is fooled into believing only c is fast. Whereas what is true is that <em>static</em> code is fast.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      On a very similar note we are lead to believe that os features must be used from c. Whereas system calls
+      are software interrupts and only the c std library makes them look like c functions. But they are not.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      So now, are we ready to generate some bytes? even if they are Machine Code. And go to the Source? I say we are!
