Rubinius
Rubinius is a ruby interpreter written in C++ using many advanced techniques and technologies such as LLVM, a "precise, compacting, generational garbage collector", a compatible C extension API to standard MRI Ruby, and many other awesome ideas that will give any language-nut a huge nerdon.

Installing
$ rvm install rbx
Configuration options for rbx-head can be passed after `--`.
It is important to keep proper order of options; `enable-version` must be specified before `default-version`:
$ rvm install rbx -- --enable-version=1.9,1.8 --default-version=1.8
If you're installing rubinius on Ubuntu, and you find that makeinfo is missing, you can solve that by installing the texinfo package by:
$ sudo apt-get install texinfo
