       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.

+    For me it is means owning your tools. 
+    For everyone to really be able to unfold their ideas and potential. 
+    Not to be stuck, rather to be able to change anything one wishes. 
+    We usually own the code we write, and we have seen amazing progress in opening up new ideas.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    So it is hard to even think of ruby holding us back, and it isn't off course, only current implementations of it are.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    So concretely what does this mean: Well i don't know do i! That's the whole point, that anyone can improve it beyond
+    the original creators horizon.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    But to mention a few things that have crossed my mind (and that i will most certainly not implement)
+    <ul>
+      <li> Efficient vector extensions that use cpu/gpu instructions not supported in the core</li>
+      <li> Efficient grphics extensions</li>
+      <li> New language features, ie real dsl's that extand the parser on the fly </li>
+      <li> Off course there is always new cpu's and os's</li>
+      <li> Better implementation of core datastructures. Did i hear digital trees being mentioned?</li>
+      <li> Better gc's, better memory management.</li>
+      <li> Superoptimization! (heard of that one?)</li>
+    </ul>
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    And the fun thing is off course that all the above can be created as gems. No recompiling, no rvm/rbenv.
+    Anyone can choose how they want to pimp
+    their vm in the same way as you can decide what stack/tools you use in a rails project. And we have the essential
+    tool to do this: the bundler.
+  </p>
+  <p> And off course democracy decides what is good and what will stay. Natural extinction and all.</p>
