Huge, exciting news. But stay calm. Keep your vitamins in your pocket. Try your hardest not to yank the ejection lever. This is all hearsay from IRC.
matz: any news about Ruby 2.0 ? Rite ? whatever comes next ?
vruz: I have talked with Koichi Sasada, and he agreed to merge
his YARV in the current interpreter.
I _hope_ VARV will be core engine before the end of this year.
I’d call him son-shi just for assembling the instruction table. This table comes from the bleeding-edge in his svn. I’m totally amazed at the diary he keeps on his progress.
More on building YARV in an earlier post. (The instructions still work for 0.2.0.)
