- parser and code generator independent from
mrb_state(picoruby?) - iv/hash entry cache
- method inline caching improvements (cache method lookup results)
- more peephole optimization (if possible)
- built-in profiler (method call tracing, stack profiling, detailed memory analysis)
- improved REPL (mirb) features (syntax highlighting)
- configurable memory pools (per-object-type, memory-constrained devices)
- suspend/resume VM state (serialize/deserialize for power cycling)
- CMake build support (better IDE integration, standard C tooling)
- amalgamation (single-file distribution like SQLite)
- special variables ($1,$2..)
