Subject: Re: [RFC] The Early Demise of Myriad (Thanks To Ruby Threads)

There's also Sydney which promises to add real POSIX thread support to 1.8.2
when it is done. It also makes embedding multiple Ruby interpreters easier by
moving globals into a ruby_state struct (Lua does something similar iIrc).

It would be great if this effort were to be merged with 1.9 somehow but it's
unclear if Matz and Evan are even discusssing this. The last thing we need is
two slightly incompatible Ruby interpreters.
