Subject: Dealing with primitives

Hi all

The ruby currently deals with only ints with one bit to differentiate it
with object pointers. I am not sure how much improvements can be made in
terms of speed if we deal all the primitives but I think that can be
substantial for mathematical programs.


Not holding minds on implementation problems in Ruby, does any one has ideas
on possible ways to deal with all the primitives like floats etc in a
dynamic language?
