Ruby VM currently does not support multi-threading as a historical problem(https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14792). Any calls to the vm in a thread other than where ruby_init() occurred will fail.

However godot uses multiple threads to call pluginscript callbacks. I don't know if there are options to control this behaviour.

One possible solution is to switch to mruby. Hope it doesn't require much work.

So, I just found out this repo and looking at the limitations, I noticed something odd:

Ruby's method semantic is incompatible with the seperate properties and methods in GDScript since there are only methods in Ruby. For this we have to use get which looks weird [...] rect2.get(:position)

All properties in Godot already have getters/setters, e.g. it's get_position()/set_position() for position property. Isn't it possible to bind Ruby methods to these methods? Or auto-generate Ruby attribute accessors? It should be possible to use position/position= directly as methods instead of awkward get/set.

• redirect io
• support classes
• support signals
• support export and properties
• support operators
• support type check

This part of the code should be changed to initialize the manifest object before return:
