Is yjit support available now for more cpu architectures? Super excited to try this out

• thomasdziedzic 5y ago
  From the release notes, it looks like it only supports x86-64. From the bug report [0] it sounds like they may also support ARM64 in the future. [0] - https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18229 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18229

    It's developed at Shopify, where every developer in the company was handed a new M1 this month. I presume it will support ARM based chips pretty quickly.

      >where every developer in the company was handed a new M1 this month That's pretty interesting. They deploy, I assume to jitted ruby on X64 boxes, but will develop on M1 Macbooks. I suppose they probably have some kind of automated performance/crash/leak/etc regression tests in the pipeline?

        I say it in the third person, but I actually joined Shopify in October. Development can be done locally, or it can be done via on-demand containers in the cloud with the IDE loading the code over a remote mount of the containers filesystem. I'm new to it all, but it's a very slick setup.

  Between Ruby and Python, Ruby used to be deemed the slower language. With all recent improvements from the 3x3 initiative and yjit I wonder, does Ruby officially surpassed Python on performance?
