Wow, I'm not a Rubyist, so I had no idea about this. You all not only developed a faster, compliant interpreter, but Matz actually replaced MRI with an interpreter developed by a third-party as the reference Ruby interpreter? Huge props to him and the Ruby community for that. Unfortunately, as a Pythonista (although one whose paid work is mostly in JS these days), I can't imagine that happening in the Python community (not to our credit). Too much ego wrapped up in CPython.
