Forum: Ruby Why doesn't ruby support native threading?

I think supporting native threading is a great thing in terms of
parallel computation, then why ruby doesnt support it, in other way, why
ruby maker is not thinking to give it native support.. very curious to
know.

JRuby and Rubinius both support thread-level parallelism at the CPU 
level
without any sort of global interpreter lock (among other 
implementations,
they are just the two most popular with this feature)

Try reading "working with unix processes". It's written with ruby, 
available as an ebook, and is fantastic:
