There's a few people quietly using yarv(which will very likely form the 
  basis for ruby2.0) and the occasional bug/benchmark/comment posted to 
yarv-dev-en.

svn checkout http://www.atdot.net/svn/yarv/trunk
if you want to take a look at code and/or play around with it.  It's 
usable and comparatively fast and potentially getting pretty stable.  I 
think development has slowed down a little recently though, not been any 
commits since the first.
