• Natalie – a work-in-progress Ruby compiler, written in Ruby and C++

  > I guess the standard Ruby compiler doesn't allow you to spit out binaries Ruby is an interpreted language (+ JIT compiler). I wonder what makes this different from mruby[1] which seems to be very well supported for many years. [1] https://mruby.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Lua: The Little Language That Could

  Mruby[1] fits that category too. It can be used with H2O[2] server as well. There was a discussion here a couple of months ago regarding some use cases[3]. - [1] https://mruby.org. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• I notice that there aren't many gaming engines that support Ruby script. I'm considering working on a more manageable project that will incorporate MRuby into the Love engine.

  Matz's Ruby programming language has been simplified into MRuby. It is a scripting language that is almost universally usable. As far as integration into a virtual environment is concerned, It makes me think a lot of the Lua scripting language. Source: over 1 year ago

• Understanding the MRuby programming language and how to integrate it into a host.

  I recently learned that Ruby has a lite version. By embedding it in a host, it is hackable. It resembles Lua. It's substantially faster and is known as MRuby. Here, I'll discuss what I learned about using it in a test project. So I'll also be presenting some C) language codes here. Source: over 1 year ago

• What’s Ruby used for most nowadays?

  Ruby is mainly used in web app development because that's what makes money. However, Ruby is also used in Information Security (infosec) and there are a dozen or so Ruby security tools and libraries (metasploit, ronin, arachni, dnscat2, dradis). There's also SciRuby which aims to allow Ruby being used in the scientific/academic fields. You've probably heard/seen DragonRuby which is helping to popularize Ruby for... Source: over 1 year ago

• Wax compiler – a tiny language designed to transpile to other languages

  This remineds me of Haxe[1]. I like Wax better because of the Common-Lisp-like syntax. [1]: https://haxe.org. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Marimo: Interactive Fluffy Ball

  I thought this was a three.js demo but it's actually built with a language called haxe [1]. I've never heard of this language before and looks really cool. Makes me want to play with it! [1] https://haxe.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?

  The Haxe programming language (https://haxe.org/). It's insane how unpopular this is compared to its value. "Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode." It's mostly popular in game dev circles, and is used by:... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

  For those interested in cross platform game development, don't forget https://haxe.org/! The usefulness / popularity ratio is very high on this one :). - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

  I really enjoyed programming in AS3, and https://haxe.org/ was really helpful at the time to make development easier. Source: 12 months ago
