What is the biggest risk to Ruby?
Ruby is stuck in the past
Why isn't Ruby the right tool?
Rubinius is Ruby
Rubinius is Ruby ~2.1 and 1.8.7
Rubinius X is Ruby 10

Can we have networks?
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
HAMT Hash Array Mapped Trie

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
PEG

and we can have parser bytecode
and we can have system bytecode

def add(a, b)! a + b! end
Can we have file system support?
Yes, and we can have a dynamic code database
