Rubinius and Greenspun's 10th Rule
October 16th, 2007
It appears that the Rubinius folks are interested in implementing the VM in Lisp. If they want to implement the VM in Lisp, why are they going to create a Lisp interpreter in Cuby, which outputs C, that parses Ruby to Lisp sexps and then evaluates the sexps. Why not skip Rubinius and just implement a Ruby VM in Scheme or Common Lisp?
