…coupled with Matz's vision for the direction of the MRI ( Matz's Ruby Interpreter), were the most talked about topics at the event. Many sessions gave love to JRuby and Rubinus for addressing these enterprise problems. (And everyone gave love to Matz and his team.) While Rubinus is a fantastic project that should appeal to any Rubyist, it seems clear that JRuby will become the standard for Ruby in the enterprise.
Concurrency, Streaming & …
Jesse Storimer talks about the status of concurrency in Ruby and Matz's opinions in a Q+A session at RubyConf. Reinforcing the status quo, Matz said: 'Using multiple processes is the best way to do concurrency in MRI for the near future.'

Reinventing Wheels of Future: Matz's RubyConf Keynote Slides
No technical content as such but Matz celebrates the reinventing of wheels and confesses his love for PHP. Worth a quick swipe through for the sentiments.
Another slide-deck from RubyConf, this time sharing some options and opinions on game development in Ruby.

…committed to the Ruby project by sponsoring the work of Yukihiro " Matz" Matsumoto , Koichi Sasada and Nobuyoshi Nakada on MRI Ruby. We have been very pleased with Ruby Core's progress, and look forward to the full release. You can take an in-depth look at the new Ruby 2.0 features available.
