(Get the code!)
Basically REE is Ruby 1.8.7 but MUCH faster. It doesn't do pthreads, supports copy-on-write when forking, optimizes threading, etc. It also "takes over" ruby, which IMO is a plus.
The other nice thing is it does not need to be officially maintained by debian, so politics won't factor in here. It would be nice if debian maintained it, however I trust the folks at Phusion more then debian when it comes to maintaining Ruby. :-)
