Rockit & Ruby 1.8

Has anyone been successful making rockit work with ruby 1.8?

This looks like a very nice bit of work, but I have some problems with
install.

The rockit that is out in the open is old and unsupported; it has known
bugs and is slow.
There is a new version that uses a C back-end but I never get to release
it. Some day I will but I dare not set a date anymore; life was simpler
as a student… :wink:
