Its a compiler construction toolkit. Not part of Ruby but implemented in
Ruby. But one aim with the project is to use it to get a RubyInRuby
(ie. parser for Ruby written in Ruby) parser. Its related to other
efforts to building Ruby compilers, interpreters etc in Ruby (such as
Ruby-In-Java, RubyAST, RubyVM and MetaRuby).

For more info please see rockit.sourceforge.net.
