HotRuby

Anyone here heard of this HotRuby? It's seems like it's a javascript VM that interprets ruby.
I was thinking of doing something like this only the issue would be speed and performance. It seems that HotRuby pulls it off pretty well. According to the HotRuby site: "HotRuby is 78% faster than Ruby(YARV), 531% faster than JRuby.".
I'm not a ruby developer my self, but I've looked into the language some but not enough to know if HotRuby implements all the functionality that ruby has. And I wouldn't know what opcode is?
This is the sort of thing that interests me. A language interpreted by javascript, it is something I would of like to have done. More, I would of liked to make a javascript compiler that compiles the 'other language' into packed javascript code.
Anyway thought that I'd share this with DevNet, I didn't see any other post about it. If you haven't read ajaxian's latest posts then you might not of spotted it. If so, then here's the link.
