Looks like a fun project but I think the window of opportunity might have passed. The Shopify JIT seems to be the way forward for Ruby JITs, and WASM is the obvious choice for new programming languages.

A new jit (rjit) just landed as an experimental option in 3.3. Ruby is very receptive to trying new things if they look promising.

Also rjit is yet-another-jit in Ruby. There's mjit, yjit, rjit, and many external ones. We're getting at least two a year recently, so why not mir as well.
