I miss him. And I really hope someday TruffleRuby will succeed and become mainstream or at least 2nd only to Cruby.
I hope truffle ruby does well, too. But even if it doesn’t, he’s still made an impact on me, and on the community. I told him “thank you” to his face when we met. I also wish I could have also somehow let him know my thanks and appreciation was unconditional.

Both the JRuby and TruffleRuby implemenations have had parellel GC for a very long time.
I think Peter Zhu work on cRuby has been brilliant here and is really appreciated.
