Yes, and we can have one that just works
Rubinius has no global interpreter lock
Threads are fine
Locks are the problem
Shared mutable state

Can we have simple data structures?
Yes, and we can have useful concurrent ones
String and Symbol
! irb> obj.method "to_s"! => #<Method: Object(Kernel)#to_s>!
! irb> obj.method :to_s! => #<Method: Object(Kernel)#to_s>!

Can we have stack bytecode?
Yes, and we can have register bytecode
assert_gte r1, r2, 0! add r1, r2, r3! # ^a
^b ^c! set_local r3, 2
and we can have assertion bytecode
record r1, r2! add r1, r2, r3! # ^a ^b
^c! set_local r3, 2
and we can have instrumentation bytecode
