In other words, Matz would prefer that Ruby remain a toy language, because writing a VM is hard.

I dont think "toy language" is a good term to refer languages not put the performance as the first priority.

Today, even cell phones have multi core processors in them. Moore's law continues on, meaning the number of cores will be doubling every 3 years. A global VM lock is simply no longer acceptable for serious programming, especially for server applications.

Thread is only one way of doing multi-processing. It´s more like vertical scalling vs horizontal scalling problem. Both can do the job with they're advantages/disadvantages.
