they built a wooden model to demonstrate their answer — although Bozóki notes
that the model doesn’t verify the result because manufacturing errors
are much greater than any errors the computer could have made.
What's the point, when its not practically possible?gary4gar | 12 years ago | on: Ruby Garbage Collection: Still Not Ready for Production
Work on the Ruby interpreter is weirdly silo'ed off and mostly done by Japanese developers, so there's a significant barrier to entry for any enterprising C developer to roll her sleeves up and get hacking.
This is wrong. Ruby Developers welcome contribution in any form. Also, they have various resource to get started: Official Contributing Guide: http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.1/doc/contributing_rdoc.html
Ruby Hacking Guide: http://ruby-hacking-guide.github.io/
Book on ruby internals: http://www.amazon.com/Ruby-Under-Microscope-Illustrated-Internals/dp/1593275277

Further, incase you are stuck. you can post on the mailing-lists. someone will surely help you get started.gary4gar | 12 years ago | on: Ruby 2.1.1 is released and Ruby turns 21

And 2.1.1 is point release, so only contains bug fixes. It doesn't contain new features.gary4gar | 12 years ago | on: Ruby 2.1: Out-of-Band GC
Other that, anything that improves performance is a welcome change.

Incompatibility
There are five notable incompatibilities we know of:
The default encoding for ruby scripts is now UTF-8 [#6679]. Some people report that it affects existing programs, such as some benchmark programs becoming very slow [ruby-dev:46547].
Iconv was removed, which had already been deprecated when M17N was introduced in ruby 1.9. Use String#encode, etc. instead.
There is ABI breakage [ruby-core:48984]. We think that normal users can/should just reinstall extension libraries. You should be aware: DO NOT COPY .so OR .bundle FILES FROM 1.9.
#lines, #chars, #codepoints, #bytes now returns an Array instead of an Enumerator [#6670]. This change allows you to avoid the common idiom "lines.to_a". Use #each_line, etc. to get an Enumerator.
Object#inspect does always return a string like #<ClassName:0x…> instead of delegating to #to_s. [#2152]
