MagLev

People have by now probably gotten a little sick of me saying that we really need to take Smalltalk technology and apply it to Ruby - see, for example, pretty much anything I wrote in November 2006, or my RailsConf keynote from last year.

This year, I'm going back to RailsConf, but with some concrete good news: we've finally done it, and it rocks.

If you're want to see the first real demo* of Ruby running on Gemstone's very cool originally-for-Smalltalk platform, drop by on Friday afternoon. I'm excited to see what everyone thinks.

(* I did do a teaser at MeshU)
