I think you're right about the language barrier.

Also, I don't really care if these community enhancements make it to the "proper" Ruby or not. The main thing is that it is available to the community, whether christened as the "Matz" Ruby or not.

true, but it's just a pain to use someone's nonstandard fork of ruby... there are a lot of awesome ones on github already, though, and I recently noticed that the latest version of ruby enterprise edition has rolled in a few of the better known ones.
