Everyone wants speed. Not everyone jumps right into writing Ruby native extensions in C, as it is a hard and daunting task. It would be great to write native extension in a modern and more programmer-friendly language with all the performance. That's what RuDy project aim is: enable and ease writing Ruby native extensions in D programming language.
D is a pretty young language from the C family, combining C/C++ performance and ability to work "close to the metal" with productivity-oriented features known from modern languages like Ruby, Python or Java.
RuDy is an effort to bring something similar to Python's PyD to the Ruby world.

Aargh! Hair metal! Very cool talk. Played around with D a year ago but didn't really know what I could do with it. Now I have an idea ...
