Pretty cool that it can run faster than AOT compiled C, any benchmarks or posts with more details on this?

In GraalVM: Run Programs Faster AnywhereTo the author, I actually used RustDT for a while and liked it. I gave up on it when I found it was supported by only one person.
I predicted that you would lose interest and move on to something else, and my workflow would have then depend on abandonware. A gentle bit of advice: Team up with someone as enthusiastic about the idea as you. If you can't find anyone interested, that's probably a signal not to work on the thing.

It sounds like a project you could contribute a lot to. There are a few core committers and it sounds like you're interested in staying on the JVM. Compiling Rust to JVM and having a decent IDE for the language would be really nice too.
Finally, remember one thing about IntelliJ. It's popular because of Google, and as you have witnessed with Eclipse

, Google is fickle. Chasing Google's whims seems like a bad idea in the long run.

62 points · Open discussionThe major obstacle right now is C extension, which I think Sulong [1] is suppose to solve.
It seems right now, TruffleRuby 99% of Ruby code without much problem. C Extension may be the key to wide spread adoption.

In Reducing Memory Usage in RubyIt already exists.

In Clang runs in the browser and compiles C++ to WebAssemblyNo, but there is a LLVM implementation on top of Java/JVM. :)
https://github.com/graalvm/sulong
Which is much better, because we need more language research with type safe languages, not with C and C++.
In Statically Recompiling NES Games into Native Executables with LLVM and Go (2013)> Has any C compiler closed the loop on that by shipping the full compiler with the program to do runtime optimization?
- The truffleruby "cext" project demonstrated something like this. They interpret and then JIT C on the JVM, and do cross-language inlining and other optimizations.
http://chrisseaton.com/rubytruffle/cext/
The same group is working on compiling LLVM IR on the JVM. Presumably the JVM's tiered runtime optimizations would apply to both of these.
https://github.com/graalvm/sulong
- There are also interactive C(++) "JITs" from CERN and the Julia project. However, as far as I know, they are both method JITs and don't do any trace-based re-JIT/OSR.

In What Challenges and Trade-Offs Do Optimising Compilers Face?> Thx, does anyone know what is happening on the OMR front? Since it has been very quiet ever since it was first announced.
I don't know if there's a more official channel, but I follow Matthew Gaudet's tweets (@MattStudies). He provides periodic updates and provides links to talks and such.
> Also wondering, for Truffle / GraalVM / SubstrateVM, how far are we from testing in production? I keep thinking TruffleRuby is Nightly / Beta and if i remember correctly, does not run Rails ( yet ) ?
We're not at the point where we recommend anyone run it in production. We do actually run a sizable portion of Rails, but since the DB adapters are all C extensions we can't really run those yet, which practically means we can't run Rails. The distinction is we're able to run with things like the pure Ruby PostgreSQL gem (postgres-pr) and the pure Redis

gem (redis).
We're making some very good progress on our C extension support. We've just recently made a successful HTTPS request running MRI's OpenSSL extension by way of Sulong [1], which is an LLVM bitcode interpreter for Graal.
If you're interested in casually following what we're up to, we now have a Twitter handle (@TruffleRuby). Or, you could always watch the GitHub project [2], since it is open source.

I hear the Truffle+Graal combination is getting very good results about Ruby. Here is video about it (pointed to the missing-method example): [1]
They're hitting 35x in some benchmarks [2]. Most benefits being in workloads where Ruby has to continuously talk to C; the result-passing part gets compiled away.
It is available in Java 9, if I'm not mistaken. LLVM IR bytecode ingestion is in preparations too [3].
