This looks very interesting! Would someone be willing to translate to english? I've only got a vague idea of what is being discussed.

To try and cut to the core of the issue: in Ruby 1.8 it was common practice to use the String class to represent both "proper strings" as well as a "bag-o-bytes". In Ruby 1.9, you can only properly use the String class to represent "proper strings". For a "bag-o-bytes" we're left with Array, but there are times when Array is not the right abstraction (e.g. reading data from a socket, identifying a start and stop token, and writing the bytes between to a file on disk). Also, the "BINARY" encoding is not the right abstraction, because you still have an object which will worry about encodings and, due to Ruby always trying to do "the right thing", bugs can be very difficult to track down. Consider:

I would love to see MRI get a JIT. Some quick rambling thoughts.

* You'll get a good perf boost just by compiling to native code and
avoiding the interpreter, but the biggest boost will come from
inlining methods. JRuby on Java 5/6 does only the former (or rather,
we don't make it possible for the JVM to inline). JRuby on Java 7 does
the latter, and performance can be many times faster.

* ruby-core folks will be sensitive to any additional dependencies.
For example, LLVM is not a small library. Of course the JIT could be
made an optional part of the build.

* I will happily share techniques we've used to optimize JRuby. We do
get to leverage the JVM a lot, but I also have a good working
knowledge of how the JVM does JIT and optimization.
