 You have not understood.

 ruby is written in C, the extension is written in C and has access to most
 of the interface of ruby.

 This mean that you can write a C extension which is as fast as ruby
 (because you have access to the interface of ruby).

 You can still write in your extension

  rb_eval_string("A.new.toto");

 but you have always the possibility to write something as fast as ruby.
