Perhaps, you guys are right about JRuby. I haven't indulged myself in 
its writing yet. However, I still think despite it using the JVM, it 
isn't necessary. I do think it was a great idea to create JRuby though. 
This might sound hypocritical of me, but what I was also getting at was 
what if Ruby had its own updated VM, different from what it already has? 
That is what I was getting at. I agree and know what JRuby is, but it 
kind of implements the focus on the JVM instead of Ruby's own RVM, I at 
least think. Again, I love all the foundations and modernizations of 
Ruby. I have great respect for JRuby. Next, time I will speak 
accordingly concise. Instead, I will start the project myself on my own 
time, then I will ask for everyone's advocacy later. This way you guys 
will see what I am going after. I have been telling you guys only part 
of what I want to do with Ruby, yet it is to making it simple and true 
to Ruby's programming, as well as expanding on the platform. I haven't 
been working with Ruby that long but understand it. With that said, I am 
working to raise funding for the project. I will be back later with an 
e-Book on what I look forward to do with this Ruby project. It will take 
a whole e-Book to outline the project, and will take lots of programmers 
help as well.
