The reason I am interested is that I have CPU and IO intensive C/C++ genetics simulation program that I would love to rewrite in Ruby but it probably would not be viable from a speed point of view. I thought maybe if I could develop/debug etc to a working Ruby app and then, when it is a going concern, turn it into a faster, compiled binary, I would get the best of both worlds . .
