[b]为什么要开发rubinius：[/b]

[list]
* Why?: The current Ruby interpreter powers many high traffic sites and enterprise projects, but a faster, more maintainable interpreter would be a huge benefit to current and future Ruby projects.
* Why not YARV?: Matz has expressed support for other Ruby interpreters and has said that YARV has a difficult task since the specs of Ruby 1.9/2.0 are not finalized yet (mentioned in this interview). Rubinius is targeting the current Ruby 1.8 series and is using the existing interpreter to bootstrap the project.
* When will it be done?: There is no timeline. It may take 6 months, 6 years, or never. The idea is to put resources behind this project so progress can be made.

[b]我的感受：[/b]
[list]
1、支持bytecode；
2、由于1的原因，支持代码加密，可以吸引企业／商业等对知识产权敏感的用户；
3、更简单的Ruby解释器内核，维护更容易；
4、YARV就算可以运行Ruby2.0,还是有很多问题
