That is, mruby is an implementation of the Ruby programming language
speficially made for the purpose of embedding it into other
applications. A purpose which it does fit very nice. I work on an OSS
game that uses mruby for scripting[2].

Ruby's canonical implementation (MRI) is still in active development[3] and
is not about to be replaced at all.
