Just found out that Ruby does not have any formal langauge specification. Instead, they just use the ruby-spec test suite. If your compiler can pass those, then it's probably a ruby compiler.

This is a pure duck typing at a compiler level. LMFAO.

honestly, that kinda sounds about right for ruby.

At this point if you look into rvm or however it's called, youll see like 10 different compilers, all probably with a different set of features.

And yet somehow this whole mess works mostly okay.

Sure, why not.
If it works it works, right?

Not sure if I am disgusted or amazed. Maybe both.
