There has been some work on and off in a few forks (adding ffi support and improving list performance), but no one currently has had time to work on it for a while.

i added some benchmarks with little modified topaz version here: https://github.com/kostya/jit-benchmarks. Its nice to see, that topaz still very fast in most cases, between other ruby implementations, even if it not developed some years.
