Rubinius is an alternative Ruby programming language implementation created by Evan Phoenix. Based loosely on the Smalltalk-80 Blue Book design,[1] Rubinius seeks to "provide a rich, high-performance environment for running Ruby code."[2]
Goals
Rubinius follows in the Lisp[3] and Smalltalk traditions, by natively implementing as much of Ruby as possible in Ruby code.[4]
It also has a goal of being thread-safe in order to be able to embed more than one interpreter in a single application.
Sponsorship
Engine Yard funds one full-time engineer to work exclusively on Rubinius.

'Well, you know if I took that piece of code and hand compiled it, then that could be an interpreter for Lisp.' So he did that and it surprised John McCarthy and overnight they had a running implementation of Lisp.
