[Yarv-devel] YARV Development Plan

>  In current version of YARV, we must patch to ruby source code.

So you are anticipating a pass over of all the ruby core code to make it 'YARV' friendly? Or do you mean that you are going to make YARV work without having to patch ruby?

YES, PLEASE!!!! I can't take the whole ruby interpreter blocking on op. sys calls anymore! And polling (with little sleeps) is just not good enough. Go Koichi!

So, in a previous thread on this list, I noticed that YARV didn't give very much speed up for programs that perform float operations. Do you have any ideas/plans on how to speed up the flavors of ruby code that YARV currently does _not_ speed up?

Great work by the way!
