MagLev - Transparent, distributed object space for Ruby
- damncabbage 15y agoApologies for the "editorialized" title, but the actual page's title is lacking in context.
- jwallaceparker 15y agoNo problem. Makes sense to me. I agree completely. I hope this article has legs.
- glenngillen 15y agoErrmm... what's with all the similar comments across multiple posts? http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jwallaceparker http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jwallaceparker
- jwallaceparker 15y agoOMG. It looks like a housemate had some fun with my account last night. Ugh.
- malbs 15y agoBuilt on top of GemStone/S, aka GemStone Smalltalk.
- JoachimSchipper 15y agoDoes anyone have any experience with this? Is it stable and fast enough for serious work?
- malbs 15y agoIt's built on top of GemStone/S which is an incredibly mature object database/persistance mechanism, while I can not speak for MagLev itself, if the guys at GemStone Inc, now VMware, are prepared to push this out as a v1.0, then I would be willing to bet yes. Caveat is that while the Ruby implementation on top may not be 100% compatible with standard ruby (again I can't comment) the underlying technology is bulletproof, these guys have been doing object persistance w/ very high tps for 25+ years This is an exciting technology, and if I worked with ruby at all, I would definitely be checking it out.
- malbs 15y agoSorry thought I'd throw in a link to the GemStone/S product site http://www.gemstone.com/products/gemstone http://www.gemstone.com/products/gemstone My specific experience is with GLASS http://seaside.gemstone.com/ http://seaside.gemstone.com/

- sshconnection 15y agoThis was pretty interesting when announced back in 2008, but I thought the project was dead. Are there plans to update it to 1.9? They posted some optimistic benchmarks back then, how do they compare to modern VM competition? I'm interested to know more, but I'd like to see a bit more info and context.
- igouy 15y ago> but I thought the project was dead "MagLev 1.0.0 was released on October 31, 2011"
- mofey 15y agoAren't continuations being removed from Ruby?
