Rubinius is an alternative Ruby implementation created by Evan Phoenix. Based loosely on the Smalltalk-80 Blue Book design,[2] Rubinius seeks to "provide a rich, high-performance environment for running Ruby code."[3]
Goals
Rubinius follows in the Lisp 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
From 2007 to 2013, Engine Yard funded one full-time engineer to work exclusively on Rubinius.[5] Evan Phoenix now works at HashiCorp.[6][7]
PowerPC64 support
Since version 2.4.0, support on PowerPC64 is enabled. [8]
