Headius, you're awesome and I'm honored that you replied to my stupid rant.
My reply was meant for people that questioned a project like Rubinius when there is JRuby around. And you're right, I only have a very high-level overview of the problems you're encountering, mostly being just educated (or maybe not) guesses.
The reason for my rant is that Rubinius is awesome too and I would rather see Rubinius replace MRI as THE reference implementation - since it's a more flexible environment built from scratch, people will be able to experiment with features more easily.
I do however object to one thing you said - continuations are awesome and I'm sad they got pulled from Rubinius.
