Talk on Rubinius / Jruby / IronRuby

[Roland Swingler]

Hi,

I'd be very interested to hear about alternative ruby implementations.
Probably not so much from the point of view of "how near to MRI are
they" in terms of features, compatibility etc.or "how well do they run
rails" - more along the lines of architecture/implementation
decisions, problems encountered creating ruby for the various runtimes
and how they were overcome etc.

For example I know that JRuby leverages a lot of the work in terms of
Threading/GC done in the Java/JVM world it would be interesting to
hear more about the issues like those.

Should probably mention the RubySpec project as well
