Still waiting for some actual code, some actual substance to back up these numbers. From what I know about JRuby and MRI, and reading blogs about performance and Ruby VM implementation, I am going to remain highly skeptical about MagLev.

No more ActiveRecord? Maybe some other kind of framework altogether (like a Seaside for Ruby)? Is there some way to prepare for development under MagLev? Thank you.

I only managed to get mine under non-disclosure terms, thanks to GemStone's interest in an open, unbiased and independent performance test which I'll carry out with my Ruby VMs shootout. @Robert, @Luis: Unfortunately the VM is not publicly available at this stage.

I think I speak for many when I say that I wanted to dislike it; but it was an impressive demo. Avi nailed it. The speed looks impressive (though it is very early), but I'm really interested with the idea of having a persisted, shared memory space at the VM level; ie the global memory space is shared and persisted. Faster speed is nice, but I think this feature is fascinating and I can't wait to play around with it. It was interesting being in the audience at RailsConf where MagLev was first revealed.
