> My objective is to better understand how computers work, how ruby works... Check out Pat Shaughnessy's Ruby Under a Microscope [0]. It gives a nice overview of the internals of MRI. It doesn't cover a who lot of the C code, but references plenty of it and where it can be found in the source code of MRI. Grab the book, the source for MRI, and do some digging.
