> I think the best thing about Ruby is the really fierce competition between implementations, which also reflects on the developers.

I don't see any fierce competition against implementations in Ruby. I see that in Javascript implementations (and in HTML engines), but not in Ruby.

I wish that was not the case, but for real competition to exist, and also be fierce, each implementation should push other implementations to go better, adopt its successful features, etc.

What I do see is just parallel development of different implementations.
