Ruby 2.0 Bytecode Export/Import

Compiling Ruby 2.1 to bytecode

I haven't seen any work in this direction from reading ruby-core (I am a committer). Compilation to bytecode doesn't take very long in ruby. Compared to the runtime of most ruby programs it hasn't yet made sense to persist compiled bytecode to disk.

What are five things you hate about your favorite language?

Five things I hate about Java:

  • No first-class functions.
  • No type inference.
  • Lack of sane defaults in eg graphics.
  • NullPointerException not containing more information about what is null.
  • The proliferation of pointlessly "configurable" frameworks/service provider interfaces/factory classes/dependency injection systems. The configurability is almost never used, DRY is violated egregiously, and code quadruples in size and halves in legibility.

I know, I should check out Scala.
