Hi!
I just learned about another new Ruby Implementation. This one is
called "Blue Ruby" and it is developed by SAP Labs in Palo Alto.
It's – are you all sitting down? – a Ruby Implementation for the ABAP
Virtual Machine, written in ABAP.
There seem to be some similarities with MacRuby, in that Blue Ruby
attempts a very tight integration with the ABAP call stack, so that
two-way integration is totally seamless.
According to the technical whitepaper, Blue Ruby currently (as of
2009-03-27, i.e. four days ago) passes 70.2% of RubySpec (88.8%
language, 67.2% core library), which I find quite impressive. Blue
Ruby is yet another Ruby Implementation that has received a
significant development boost from RubySpec and ruby_parser. Kudos to
the Rubinius community!
You can find more information about Blue Ruby here:

The technical whitepaper is here:

And an introductory blog entry is here:

BTW: If I counted correctly, we can soon celebrate the 30th Ruby
Implementation!
Greetings,
