Artichoke – A Ruby made with Rust

My personal experience with Ruby is extremely shallow, but a casual glance at the search results wrt the GIL in Ruby seems to say it actually does have one. I could be wrong, as I'm not an experienced Ruby developer, however.

From your link: "Note that this is not the case for JRuby or Rubinius which do not have a GIL and offer true multi-threading."

Ruby has multiple implementations, JRuby uses Java Threads without any sort of GIL.

Plenty of talks done on this subject by Charles Nutter.
