GraalRuby

GraalRuby is an implementation of the Ruby programming language built on the GraalVM virtual machine. GraalVM is a high-performance, polyglot virtual machine that supports multiple programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. GraalRuby leverages GraalVM's advanced features, such as Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation and ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, to offer potential performance improvements over traditional Ruby interpreters.

The primary goal of GraalRuby is to provide a faster and more efficient Ruby runtime. By integrating with GraalVM, GraalRuby can benefit from optimizations that are not typically available in standard Ruby environments. This can lead to faster execution times for Ruby applications and potentially lower memory consumption.

GraalRuby supports the standard Ruby API, meaning that most existing Ruby code and libraries are expected to work without modification. This compatibility allows developers to transition to GraalRuby without a significant rewrite of their codebase. The project is actively developed and aims to provide a compelling alternative for Ruby developers seeking enhanced performance.
