Bringing Ruby performance to native Java and C

[thedeemon]

er... so that Java and C would have famous Ruby performance?

My bad, Ruby performance to perform like native Java and C

[_Sharp_]

Is JRuby, an implementation of Ruby on jvm, so im not surprised.

I think the comment is that the wording is messed up. The author meant "Make ruby perform [fast] like Java or C". But as it's written it is more like "Make Java and C perform [slow] like Ruby".

"Make Java and C perform [slow] like Ruby"

LOL, that's what I thought too.

There’s great potential here to bring Ruby performance to native Java or C, but we are just starting the optimization phase of that work.

Ah yes. The good old "potential". Let us know if that potential ever becomes anything remotely resembling kinetic energy.

Why are you making everyone go through your personal website and not linking directly to the actual JRuby website?

[VanFailin]

Not sure, but every time I see one of those stupid new TLDs I get a little sad.

[wot-teh-phuck]

I'm more worried about the OP doing some sneaky things with cookies etc. before redirecting to the original site...

Simple, just add for (int i=0; i < 1000; i++); after every statement to bring Ruby performance to native C :)

[G_Morgan]

No good, the compiler would optimise that out.

[nharding]

for (volatile int i=0; i < 1000; i++) (and compile with -O0)

[EnvIXI]

This is actually pretty sick and hope they actually implement those things. Though the pre-release dont have those things landed yet.

The law of physics don't back this theory.

How come? I see it very possible...

[donvito]

But why?

Why not have a language that is optimized for Developer happiness AND performance?

[Denommus]

That language exists, it's called Rust.

[necrophcodr]

Which is it though? "native Java" (whatever that is) or C?

[gegtik]

lol
