Self itself may be a mine of good ideas for making Ruby faster, the
language being just as dynamic and many of the same ideas they had for
making it faster (the best VM JIT compiler they've been able to come
up with is about half the speed of  the equivalent C, which is not at
all bad) may be applicable to Ruby as well.
