Apart from Koichi, there's one more person - Nobu - who is working on CRuby full-time. Nobu's the guy with most commits to CRuby. Matz now does not work on CRuby, only on MRuby and the language specification.
It's also worth noticing that another implementation, JRuby is supported by Redhat. IIRC 2 people work on it full-time: Charles Nutter (Headius) and Thomas Enebo
- nirvdrum 12y agoThere's a few of us at Oracle working on an alternative backend via JRuby, as well. Chris Seaton gave a talk on it at RubyConf last week. He has a series of posts about it that are pretty good: http://www.chrisseaton.com/rubytruffle/ http://www.chrisseaton.com/rubytruffle/ Obviously, this isn't people being directly paid to work on MRI, but there are side benefits like a richer set of rubyspecs and sometimes fixes landing in MRI.
- timr 12y agoThat was a great talk -- really sort of mind-warping to think that there are people working on "de-optimizing" the JVM so that Ruby can run faster in the average case.
