I agree with this; I was very into this at one point and talked to David 
about it. However, I feel a bit unsure about his licensing, where he is 
taking the project and when a 1.0 release will come out. Seems he has no 
plans to release the source for the VM. Thus I think CLR (MS and/or 
Mono), Parrot, pure-assembler (or of course Rite) are currently the most 
promising "back-ends" for Ruby.
