mrusty is super cool. My only beefs with it are around the difficulties of mruby (package availability, 1.9.3 limitations, generally being "off the beaten path"), not of mrusty itself, but it's such a fantastic way to quickly build a scripting layer that I fell in love with it almost immediately.

I would pay a decent chunk of money for a cleanly integrated MRI implementation inside of Rust, but I also will not be holding my breath for it.

Just out of curiosity: what limitations of Ruby 1.9.3 is critical in your case?

Not to start a flame war, but according to my experience, Ruby 1.9 is already quite good, later versions of Ruby only introduce minor syntax & semantic changes, which is trivial to work around. This is nothing like the big differences between 1.8 and 1.9

I agree with package availability problem of mruby, tho.

Nothing is critical, I'm just so used to writing Ruby 2.3 at this point that 1.9 isn't as enjoyable. I wish it were better, I'm not saying it's bad.
