How GraalVM improves Ruby

#ruby #java

Recently, there was a Java meetup held at work (Deepsource) where I gave my first ever talk, "How GraalVM improves Ruby".

In this I talk about how the Java ecosystem has become so much larger than just Java the language, that it's optimizations get carried over to other languages (in this case, Ruby) which ends up improving them.

I hope you find this talk useful!

So does Rails finally run on JRuby/GraalVM?

That's how compatible TruffleRuby is nowadays: a one-line change and it runs a 292-gems Rails app it never tried to run before! twitter.com/eregontp/statu…

Today I tried to run #Mastodon on @TruffleRuby and it just worked as a drop-in replacement! 🚀 No Gemfile/app changes needed. I only had to fix one small bug in rb_thread_fd_select() used by hiredis and a one-line change in the Puma config! https://t.co/e3jNVecagh
