mruby VS ShellNewHandler

• Lightweight
  mruby is designed to be small and lightweight, making it ideal for embedding in applications with limited resources.
• Embeddable
  mruby can be easily embedded into software applications, allowing developers to script functionalities within the application.
• Fast Execution
  It provides quick startup and execution times compared to many typical Ruby implementations, which enhances performance in resource-constrained environments.
• Simple License
  mruby is distributed under a simple and permissive license (MIT License), which is business-friendly and promotes wide adoption.
• Compatibility with Ruby Syntax
  mruby aims to be compatible with Ruby syntax, making it easier for developers familiar with Ruby to adopt and use it.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Standard Library
  mruby has a more limited standard library compared to full Ruby implementations, which can restrict development or require additional effort to implement missing features.
• Less Mature
  Being a smaller and newer implementation, it might lack the robustness and extensive library support seen in more mature Ruby versions like MRI.
• Less Community Support
  The community around mruby is smaller compared to the broader Ruby community, potentially leading to fewer resources or third-party libraries.
• Incompatibility with Some Ruby Gems
  Not all Ruby gems are compatible with mruby, as some rely on native extensions or parts of the Ruby standard library that are absent in mruby.
• Limited Debugging Tools
  The debugging and profiling tools available for mruby are not as extensive as those available for regular Ruby, which can make troubleshooting more challenging.

• Embed mruby as a Single Binary That Runs Everywhere

  I already have lua embeded into Rapidforge binary because lets admit it after certain size its very difficult to code with bash. I wanted to support mruby as well becuase I really love ruby and I think you can express complex ideas... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Playing with DragonRuby Game Toolkit (DRGTK)

  This Ruby implementation is based on mruby and LLVM and it’s commercial software but cheap. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• 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]... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
