From: Travis Whitton Date: 2002-10-16T09:21:47+09:00 Subject: Psyco There's an interesting article on IBM developerWorks about a new program called Psyco, which hooks into the guts of Python's interpreter and does a kind of just-in-time compilation substituting bytecode for native machine code. Apparently, this allows python to achieve near C like speeds without having to rewrite any code, and it sounds like a really cool project. Unfortunately, I don't care much for Python, but I do love Ruby. This leads me to the question of whether there are any similar programs available for Ruby. If not, would such a project be possible?
