Rubinius
A modern language platform supporting multiple programming languages with a virtual machine architecture and advanced developer tools.
What is Rubinius?
Rubinius is a modern language platform that implements a virtual computing machine to support multiple programming languages. Originally developed as a Ruby implementation, it has evolved into a broader platform with advanced features like sophisticated garbage collection, a CodeDB system, and comprehensive developer tools. It solves the problem of providing a high-performance, extensible runtime environment for dynamic languages.
Language implementers, virtual machine developers, and programmers interested in runtime systems, garbage collection, and compiler technology. Also useful for Ruby developers needing advanced debugging and profiling capabilities.
Developers choose Rubinius for its clean virtual machine architecture, advanced developer tooling, and experimental language features that go beyond standard implementations. Its focus on extensibility and modern runtime concepts makes it unique among language platforms.
