- qwertyuiop924 10y agoNo, no we can't. Or at least, I doubt it. You're free to predict whatever you like. At the very least, I don't think any amb implementations are making their way to jruby any time soon. Although that's not an issue with any real-world code.
- MrBra 10y agoWhat's amb?
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoamb is a nondeterministic operator. It's a fun toy, although not terribly practical. It's usually implemented in terms of call/cc, a rare (and, as commonly implemented, expensive) function. CRuby implements it, JRuby doesn't. It's not revelant to my main point, but I thought I'd have a bit of fun.
- eregon 10y agoActually, JRuby+Truffle can already install gems using Bundler, although it uses some hacks to work around issues like currently-missing OpenSSL. Realistic Rails apps will not work yet, but there is fast progress in this area, we started this year with a minimal webserver and now got a simple blog app working with a PostgreSQL adapter.
