Amazing work and really appreciate all you're doing to better the ecosystem.
Question: (a) do you believe we'll ever get to a day when TruffleRuby/Graal will be able to 100% run Ruby on Rails and (b) how much faster over MRI do you believe it could achieve?
- chrisseaton 6y agoCompatibility yeah I don't think there's any reason we can't be very close to 100% there. For parts of the Ruby ecosystem running production workloads, such as the Liquid template engine, I see 6x performance today. I think that's a realistic goal in time.
- alberth 6y agoWow, that's amazing! Any rough estimates on when the masses will be able to run RoR on TruffleRuby? (Just order of magnitude timing ... e.g. late 2020, mid 2021, etc.)
- chrisseaton 6y agoIf people are motivated to help TruffleRuby then the best thing they can do is test the specs and performance of their gems. If people have Sinatra apps or similar they could also try those now. I'm in the GraalVM Slack - https://www.graalvm.org/community/ https://www.graalvm.org/community/ - ask me for help. Don't want to speculate more than that.
