TruffleRuby 25.0 is released! 🚀🎉 It can now run native extensions in parallel, just like Ruby code already ran in parallel in Threads on TruffleRuby! It also features many compatibility improvements and notably support for custom Digest algorithms. https://t.co/SPHk7255ry

TruffleRuby 24.2 is released!🚀🎉 It uses the new Java Panama API in JVM mode to speedup C extensions like sqlite3, trilogy & json by 2 to 3 times! It optimizes encoding negotiation, and updates to Ruby 3.3! All changes: https://t.co/7Vr6BCiXzc Blog post:

Unsurprisingly, TruffleRuby blazes on these synthetic benchmarks 🏃 @eregontp

This release addresses several performance issues detected while getting a large Rails app running on TruffleRuby at Shopify. I’ll write up a blog post with more details soon-ish. In the meanwhile, please give it a try. It should run Rails applications quite well.

The main performance improvement is a complete review of all 100+ inline caches to ensure they use splitting to keep these inline caches as fast and monomoprhic as possible. You can find more information about splitting and inline caches in this talk:

TruffleRuby 24.1 is released!🚀🎉 It updates to Ruby 3.2.4, gets a lot of compatibility and bug fixes, and significant performance improvements: https://t.co/4SZlOT58JS Available via ruby-install/ruby-build/rbenv/asdf/rvm/setup-ruby as usual.

@k0kubun FWIW @TruffleRuby is 45 times faster than YJIT on that benchmark and more importantly has the same performance for all 3 variants!

I wrote (somewhat extensively) about the current state of the Ruby language frontend, including Prism, LRama, "universal" parser, and much more. I hope this post is able to answer all of the questions I keep getting about where everything is heading. https://t.co/d6it5weNt3

Full support for the Ruby 3.2 & 3.3 syntax, including pattern matching, was made possible by adopting the Prism parser, which is about twice as fast as the old parser!

Native extensions are now compiled using the system toolchain and executed natively instead of using GraalVM LLVM (Sulong), which leads to faster startup, faster warmup, better compatibility, smaller distribution and faster installation.

TruffleRuby 24.0 is released!🚀🎉 It ships with 3 major features: * Native extensions are executed natively for faster warmup * Near-complete support for Ruby 3.2 (97.4% of specs) * Full support for the Ruby syntax by adopting the Prism parser All changes:

GraalVM for JDK 22 is here!🎉 What's new: https://t.co/nfsWLeM4Kp The release notes: https://t.co/eR5sxC0jzU Download now!🚀 https://t.co/ueQ1ZUwV0j #GraalVM @Java #Java22

I would like to thank all contributors to Prism, which improved and will improve so much Ruby tooling & implementations: @kddnewton haldun @JemmaIssroff @eregontp @flavorjones @froydnj @make_now_just @theHessParker @tom_enebo @vinistock and many more:

This was a large effort which started a year ago and was the main focus of @andrykonchin for the last 4 months, but is all worth it maintenance-wise, especially since the old parser (based on parse.y) was difficult to update. Prism also has a much cleaner AST and is well designed

TruffleRuby is now using Prism as its Ruby parser! 🚀 This means *all* the Ruby 3.3 syntax is supported, no exception! It is also twice as fast as the previous parser written in Java! And future Ruby syntax will be available very quickly in TruffleRuby.

TruffleRuby 23.1.2 is released!🚀🎉 This is a patch release and contains important bug fixes as well as fixing issues with XCode 15 on macOS. ChangeLog:

@TruffleRuby is doing well on the plb2 benchmarks at https://t.co/Tx0Kx5tvUU, between Node.js/V8 and LuaJIT for total time. TruffleRuby is labeled as rb:graal+ on the picture.

This means the childprocess (5+) gem is now perfectly compatible on all Rubies, including TruffleRuby! (the previous backends had various issues: https://t.co/vRAuatqXgA)

This is now complete, https://t.co/zdO2Z3nY4O reimplemented Hash in TruffleRuby in https://t.co/5O2y7AhBH8 in a faster and more compact way! It will be in TruffleRuby 24.0 🎉
