Rails on Rubinius
We hit a major milestone tonight. As most people know, we’ve been working to run Rails on Rubinius by RailsConf to have something to show off, even if it’s pretty slow.
Well, I’m super proud to say that tonight, rails served up both static and dynamic pages under Rubinius. Previous to tonight, we’d been blocked just trying to get Rails to even load. I decided to just try loading it up and bang on it enough to get it up and going.
In a scary way, it didn’t take very much code. Which meant we were very close already.
It’s pretty late, so I’m going to keep this short. Big thanks to everyone who’s contributed to Rubinius and had faith in us. Enormous thanks to Engine Yard, without whom I don’t know if we’d been able to reach this amazing height.
More updates to come…
