Ruby2 will be byte-compiled. The VM is called YARV and is in heavy development. Check out http://www.atdot.net/yarv/ . And although that page is rather humble, matz already indicated that YARV *will* be the VM for Ruby2. > > Also where is Ruby 1.9 held, I know its a development version and its > almost version 2.0... but is it practically 2.0 and does it have a > compiler & VM? > My understanding is that it's Ruby2 feature-wise, but interpreted like Ruby 1.8 currently is. So you don't get the VM with it. It's just the testing ground for the features and syntax that Ruby2 will eventually have. -- Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
