Awesome to see the progress made by Alex, highly recommend watching the linked talk for people interested in any of Ruby, (AoT) compilers, and MLIR (which I haven't seen used too much outside of the ML space, personally)
Fascinating, does the project aspire to become compatible with MRI Ruby? Also how many active Ruby implementations do we have so far?
Edit: Found this, https://github.com/codicoscepticos/ruby-implementations?tab=...
I'm curious if Crystal lang is not fit enough for the main task?
Ruby is great as the first language.
Productive as an engineer.
Expressive as a linguist.
Elegant as an artist.
Magic as a blackbox.
Succinct as math.
DragonRuby is incredible and the community is wildly supportive. Love that this is getting traction on HN. Ruby is really having a renaissance.
