Topaz: a new Ruby implementation
[Development] Posted Feb 6, 2013 18:29 UTC (Wed) by corbet

The Topaz project, which is creating a new Ruby implementation done in RPython, has announced its existence. "Because Topaz builds on RPython, and thus much of the fantastic work of the PyPy developers, it comes out of the box with a high performance garbage collector, and a state of the art JIT (just-in-time) compiler. What does this mean? Out of the box Topaz is extremely fast."
