Subject: [ruby-core:34447] Re: Any plans for Rite and Ruby 2.0 ?

Hi matz,

I understand that Rite is a new code-base, but it will inherit aspects
or ruby isn't it ? It will be a ruby-lite (like mirah), with the
restrictions of low-end devices. Do you think you are allowed to share
the plans/discussion, or is this also disclosed by the government
contract ?

I'm asking these questions, because CRuby can probably benefit from
the work, so if there is anything you're allowed to share, I'd be
delighted to listen.

Cheers,
    zimbatm
