Compilation?

ruby-talk

Hello people,

just a naïve question (after browse it):

ruby is so nice that a possibility
to compile a ruby script will be great.

Is that possible and if not, why?
Is it planned?

ThankYou for understanding,
Widmir

Not sure if this is what you have in mind by “compiling” a Ruby script,
but see:

Hope this helps,

If by “compile ruby script” you mean compiling to bytecode (Ruby Virtual
Machine), then there are at least three efforts in that direction: Rite ,
Ruby-JIT and Parrot.

I am not sure of their status though. You can learn more about it on
ruby-talk by searching with those key-words.

And there might be even more.

If you are just interested in getting a single executable of your Ruby
script on Windows platform, then take a look at exerb on RAA.
