The Future of Ruby

Yukihiro Matsumoto's C implementation of Ruby aka Main Ruby Implementation is considered the Quasi-Standard of the Ruby Language since there has never been an explicit language standard for Ruby. As the number of implementations grows, however, a formal standard seems to become necessary to prevent the horror scenario of various non-conform interpreters. Read on ...

Extending Ruby in C

Extending Ruby with C functions is quiet easy. After you have learned the principles and worked through the ambiguous usage of the API functions you get the power of the Ruby language to your C program. Then it is possible to solve the time critical tasks at the C program and the complex part by Ruby. We created a simple tutorial to get quickly familiar with the Ruby C extension API. Read on ....

Different Implementations

Ruby.NET Version 0.9 has substantial improvements, the project is on the way to production quality. - .NET compiler for Ruby.
Iron Ruby The (yet far from complete) C# implementation by Microsoft designed for .NET interoperability.
JRuby A very complete implementation of the interpreter in Java.
Rubinious An implementation based loosely on the Smalltalk-80 VM architecture.
