(hide summary▲)

Ruby code runs slower than many compiled languages (as is typical for interpreted languages) and other major scripting languages such as Python and Perl. However, in future releases (current revision: 1.9), Ruby will be bytecode compiled to be executed on YARV (Yet Another Ruby VM). Ruby's current memory footprint for the same operations is higher than Perl's and Python's. It is claimed that the 1.9 is 10x faster (!!!) than the current version in running the core libraries. Rails / Ruby developers are eagerly waiting for a stable release.

The beta version was released on December 26, 2007 (2007-12-26). Since then, there is no news about the stable release.
