By "real", I mean native and multi-core. Does that exist now? I think it exists in JRuby, but in MRI?

- sluukkonen 13y agoAll major Ruby implementations use OS threads, but the GIL still limits parallelism in MRI.
- Argorak 13y agoMRI has native threads a GIL, but you can already release the GIL and run freely in native extensions. And this is _not_ a property of native vs. green threading. (And shows how shallow the comparison is, given the number of languages that implement green threads mapped to native threads nowadays.)
