I'm no longer a software engineer but whenever I write or edit anything it's always in vim, nothing can beat it and it will be in my finger muscles forever. RIP Bram, you will be missed. Money is tight now, but I'll donate $50 just the same to his charity. If you're reading this and haven't yet, match me!

Does this use the Fiber Scheduler API to figure out which fibers are blocking? If so, why does this need libev - I'm guessing it's to do with performance?

6 years working with Ruby on Rails, 4 as senior developer. I contribute to the ruby language in my spare time (the VM and libraries). I haven't worked in software in 5 years but looking to get back into it part-time or full time :)

I like how you shutdown the threads (with throw), it was a nice touch. This whole project shows the power of IO.copy_stream imo.

This is not a good analysis imo. You don't necessarily gain any new awareness by paying attention to something or someone, you gain information. Whether or not you were aware of that information beforehand, or if it is new information has little to do with paying attention except for the fact that you might become bored or uninterested if it's not new information.

And, like another poster pointed out, this information is not gained with money, the "paying" is a metaphor and the currency is your attention itself. You give your attention away for the value of receiving the information.

On top of that there isn't just 1 metaphor in English (and I suspect other languages as well) for even the word "attention". You can fix your attention to something, or direct your attention, we speak of attention spans, etc.

Yes, there are quite a few Ruby implementations but MIR is not one nor is it trying to be. It's a standalone library useful for use in a tier 1 JIT for any dynamic language, along with other uses outside of JITs having to do with native code generation. The author does have plans to integrate it into CRuby to work alongside MJIT.

I've followed along with the craftinginterpreters book lately, and it's been a blast. My version of clox [1] has multi-threading with a GVL, managed GC heaps, and various bytecode optimization passes. I've looked into the Ruby source code and even understand much of it now :) Future plans are to add a generational copying GC and remove the GVL ;)
