Honestly? I still think Rubinius is dead.
The blog post says 4x (specifically 4.1 to 4.4 times faster)… why make that 2x?
Sporkmonger: There sure is a lot of github activity for a dead project…
Brian: A follow up post corrects his figures.
What I like about Rubinius is that they’re actually reading up on modern VM architectures, and applying it. There’s a ton of optimizations that can be done, and YARV just doesn’t even try to go there with respect to even well understood optimizations for dynamic languages… I suspect we’ll see a lot more interesting stuff coming out of them.
doesn’t that make Rubinius the fastest ruby now? Or is JRuby still the quickest fellow.
