Fast response!

Last question: How will this work if me and my friends want to sell our game? You might be asking why professionals are using a tool like craftstudio to push out a game.

My friends aren't programmers. I'd rather them trying to figure out craftstudio than teach them opengl/webgl/direct3d.

Lol.

Most people seem to flock to the reference implementation of a language rather than alternatives. Which is why most people use CRuby even though JRuby is faster.

Guido should just take it like a man and accept a pull request to merge PyPy's JIT interpreter into CPython.

Do you think we as a community should be pushing for a potential rewrite of MRI to get rid of the GIL? I feel as if the GIL is what is limiting true ruby performance.

It also seems like Matz and ruby core team don't really give a shit about performance.

It is very possible to achieve a high level of performance on an interpreted language!!

I'd rather have true threading power than thousands of 3rd party modules.

The modules can be re-written. By removing the GIL, we are giving a definite power boost to the language(applies to ruby too)
