Opal 1.6.0 and Opal-RSpec 1.0.0 have been released!
* home: https://opalrb.com/
* github: GitHub - opal/opal: Ruby ♥︎ JavaScript
* chat: https://slack.opalrb.com/
Opal is a Ruby (3.1) to JavaScript (ES5) compiler allowing you to write frontend code in pure Ruby and have it translated to clean and efficient JavaScript. It also includes a highly compatible core library that includes all the methods you've come to love. All this with a robust support of source maps, so you can debug Ruby code, not JavaScript in your Web Console. It can be used both to create websites entirely in Ruby (using Opal-Browser <https://github.com/opal/opal-browser>, or ports of known JavaScript libraries <Opal: Ruby ♥︎ JavaScript) and to port existing Ruby libraries to JavaScript, to be ran both in Node.JS and in web browsers (and other JavaScript environments).
Opal-RSpec is an Opal port of RSpec <https://rspec.info/>, a well known Ruby testing tool, allowing you to easily test your Ruby applications in browser and in Node, just like you can do so with MRI.
This release of Opal is focused primarily on improving upon MRI compatibility. We now fully support freezing and also we now have a new robust and hackable control flow instruction handling implementation (think: `break`, `next`, `return`...). Also, Windows support has been improved and Opal gained a parallel compile support - significantly improving compile times on multicore systems. In addition, the `await` subsystem is no longer experimental.
Try it now on <Opal: Ruby ♥︎ JavaScript, or get started instantly with no further steps required (except for installing Ruby):
gem install opal
\# Try either of the following examples:
opal \-e 'puts "Hello world\!"'
opal \-ce 'puts "Hello world\!"' > hello\_world\.js
node hello\_world\.js opal \-OcEe 'puts "Hello world\!"'
\# Or run it in a web browser:
bundle init
bundle add opal\-browser puma
bundle add rack \-v '< 3'
bundle exec opal \-Rserver \-qopal\-browser \-rbrowser \-e '$document\.write\("Hello world\!"\)'
