Refactoring my own comment above (I apologize but I can't delete it anymore).
Everything in the material world within our knowledge can be fixed with enough resources.
Given the current design, maybe for Ruby we could need more resources at the start of this process, but once a good base is layed out it will be easier to make other changes. Or could it all start with a Kickstarter for a new Ruby implementation???
Anyway, at that point, the resources required for successive changes will be comparable with the same needed by other languages.
So far in Ruby we have been profiting from nice syntax and object model, which in the end is what paired the balance and still made us use it.
This article was great in the sense that highlightinged the right approach that we would need in Ruby to make it grow to a better implementation. I really hope this will happen but for some reason I feel a great amount of opposing force to it and I am not sure it only comes from rational mindset. I'd like to see someone have their say on this on a deeper level.
