A blog commenter pointed this out:

Short story:

- YARV in Ruby 1.9.1, Christmas 2007
- Pure native threads
- No continuations

Of course, that's a long time from now. I think our current track to get things "correct" and then implement the simplest native-based threading (while keeping green or m:n potential) is a good path. Hopefully by this Fall (RubyConf06) we'll know for sure whether green threads are officially out or not.

If they actually did decide to ditch green threads and continuations...heck, we could have a blazing fast interpreter/compiler within a very short amount of time.
