Here we go, further down the road of Ruby2. Ko1 has a script up for compiling Ruby scripts to YARV bytecode! With or without optimizations.

He’s also started adding native thread support within the last few days. The YARVCore::VM::Thread comments show possibility for three independant threading modes.

  YARV Thread Desgin

  model 1: Userlevel Thread
    Same as traditional ruby thread.

  model 2: Native Thread with Giant VM lock
    Using pthread (or Windows thread) and Ruby threads run concurrent.

  model 3: Native Thread with fine grain lock
    Using pthread and Ruby threads run concurrent or parallel.

As always, a very low bow in reverent subservience to Sasada. (More at the YARV page.)
