Charles Nutter had the following to say on the maglev ruby performance numbers:
Except that these are results reported entirely in a vacuum. Whether this is fib following the “rules” of Ruby is entirely an open question. Whether this is method dispatch adhering to Ruby’s call logic is entirely an open question. Whether this is a while loop using all method calls for its condition and increment steps is an open quesetion. Because the Maglev guys haven’t started running Ruby tests yet.

I am interested in maglev ruby because I’ve met some amazing smalltalkers who worked on large systems using gemstone. Want to know more about the size of systems gemstone is designed for?

I needed to check Gmail via POP + SSL and didn’t want to use Ruby 1.9, what did I do?
Step 1: Install the latest version of stunnel
Step 2: Put the contents of the stunnel config file you see below some place convenient like ~/gmail-pop-stunnel.conf
foreground = yes
client = yes
pid =
[gmail]
delay = yes
accept = localhost:10000
connect = pop.gmail.com:995
Step 3: Start up stunnel
$ stunnel ~/gmail-pop-stunnel.conf &
Step 4: Fire up a Ruby program to pull down the messages.
require ‘net/pop’
conn = Net::POP3.new(’localhost:10000′)
conn.start(’your_address@gmail.com’, ‘your_password’)
conn.mails.each { |msg| puts msg.pop }
msg.delete # your choice to delete or not
end
