Agreed, seeing as the point of Ruby is its ease. Having Ruby syntax for
Neko would still support that effort as I find installing, maintaining

guess it would put the Ruby project to bed as it were. Besides, Neko
runs like s**t of a shovel and beats Ruby for speed hands down.

Hmm, not sure what you're saying here. Neko is not intended for
end-user programming primarily so comparing it to Ruby is apples vs
oranges. ;)
It is well known that the current Ruby implementation has performance
problems. In general though, this makes no difference whatsoever to
many of its uses. For some folks, more performance is always good
though. I'd like to be able to stay in a single high-level lang as
much as possible and better Ruby perf would make that more viable for
a broader set of problems.
