I have been looking at bRuby with some interest but haven’t had a machine
available to try the patch to Ruby on. Is anybody using this? It looks
a lot like the preparsed .pyc stuff that Python has; taking a snapshot of
the syntax tree and writing it to a .brb file, so you can load it again
later. Just wondering if a .brb gives one a faster startup than a .rb; it
could be very cool for web apps.

Would this allow shipping a compiled ruby application, not so much
for source obfuscation, but to ship an app as a single file rather than
a large collection of ruby source?
