Subject: Re: lack of reaction to latest ruby implementations

i've seen very little from parrot directly with regards
to ruby, there is no maintained ruby/mono implementation,
and cardinal ain't seen a commit in quite a while. not sure
if somethings happening off in the background, but i've not
seen anything public.

yarv and ruby2c are both projects based around a community
need, and have no large external dependancies. what with yarv
being a possible implementation of the future ruby 2.0, aka
rite, i was very surprised that its not talked of much more.

any japanese speakers know if such things are spoken of
on the jp mailing lists?
