The only downside is speed and we argue that with cheap resources.

Why it has taken this long to even seriously attempt a ruby implementation in ruby is due to the overwhelming
influence of C (folks), especially at the time.

Ruby itself has not enjoyed this rails effect, and that is because it is written in C
Crystal, Rust, Go Julia etc, have, for the exact same reason.

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

%h2.center Step to Indepencance
%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.

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.

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
= succeed "is" do
%em complied (binary) code

is.

On a very similar note we are lead to believe that os features must be used from c. Whereas system calls
are software interrupts, not really

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.

So it is hard to even think of ruby holding us back, and it isn't off course, only current implementations of it are.

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.
