• A full-stack serverless application with AssemblyLift and Next.js

  The counter function is written in Ruby. Since Ruby is an interpreted language, AssemblyLift deploys a customized Ruby 3.1 interpreter compiled to WebAssembly, which executes the function handler. Since the interpreter is somewhat large, the cold-start time of a Ruby function tends to be larger than that of a Rust function. Our counter is being run in the backround, so we're fine with it being a little bit laggy... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Why is no one promoting ruby?

  But, in general I was told use rubyapi.org unless you _really_ want to stick with the ruby-lang.org docs for all you do (which is fine) or to dig more into some object hierarchy, etc. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for pwsh (core/open source, v7) integration w/ rbenv, asdf

  [2] 'rbenv' - https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv - Ruby version management utility. Run something like rbenv install 3.1.1 to install that version on your system (requires related project ruby-build), then rbenv local 3.1.1 in your code's directory to specify that for any ruby command in that directory only, you want to use version 3.1.1 that you installed through rbenv. Does other useful stuff too. Only does Ruby,... Source: about 2 years ago

• Ruby 3.3's YJIT: Faster While Using Less Memory

  Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago. If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• What languages are useful for contribution to the GNOME project.

  Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well. Source: 5 months ago

• Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework

  Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything. My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting. I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
