Anyone interested in this kind of content should see Pat Shaughnessy's Ruby Under a Microscope book: http://patshaughnessy.net/ruby-under-a-microscope

It's the closest thing we have to a new Ruby Hacking Guide. It's a somewhat gentler, more approachable treatment of the subject matter, but no less awesome.

Shaughnessy also has a number of blog posts on his site that dive into the same kind of details covered in his book (and RHG).



Pat is awesome and a great pedagogue. I second this, his articles, books and guides are absolute must-reads for the Ruby enthusiast.


It's only a very light, high level overview (so not one for experienced MRI hackers) but I recorded a 30 minute screencast with Pat a few months ago touring the MRI codebase: http://www.rubyinside.com/ruby-mri-code-walk-tour-6020.html
