- lsb 18y agoFrom http://maglev.gemstone.com/status/ http://maglev.gemstone.com/status/ "MagLev swings from being much faster than MRI to being much slower". We're focused on RubySpec compliance for now, and will address performance later this year. It's in a private alpha test, so I guess we'll see. MacRuby is interesting because Apple has a new platform for OS X and the Obj-C runtime, and they're selling them like hotcakes. You have your Webkit window with Ruby locally, talking to some servers remotely if necessary, and the desktop app / web app just gets a lot more interesting.
- sho 18y agoIt's been in private alpha test for a long time now, and yet they hyped it up a year ago with insane performance claims (50x faster than MRI!). I'm glad to hear they are "focused on RubySpec compliance". However, the whole reason people got upset last year was that until it's at least usably compliant, it's not Ruby. Their compliance graph looks encouraging, though, hopefully we'll see some proper tests soon. Yeah, I've been playing with the new release of MacRuby all weekend and it is great. And it's embeddable, too! The possibilities are incredible. Don't get me wrong, I love MacRuby, I just think Antonio's benchmarking process is flawed.
