Ruby internals, a self-study guide

[Mauricio Fernandez]

I've written a succinct guide for those interested in learning about the
interpreter, with a reading order recommendation.

http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?ruby+internals+guide

It could be expanded (esp. by those who are studying the current
implementation for the first time right now), so feedback is appreciated.

I'm posting this on ruby-talk because I assume people subscribed to ruby-core
have already read the sources, and I've seen the question ("which order is
best to read the sources?") asked repeatedly here.

Wow, thanks for writing this. It helps a lot to understand ruby
internals for me.

Thanks

Many thanks!

After I finish reading, I'll give it a shot.
