therubyracer

I use both OSX and Linux extensively. I had the choice to go either way for my work computer and I chose OSX (intel chip). A couple of days ago I wanted to use a Ruby gem ( https://github.com/rubyjs/therubyracer ) for some random project. To install the library (compile native bindings), OSX wanted me to download an install 12 GB of crap (full XCode, it didn't work with the command line tools)... In linux it was just a matter of downloading and installing the gem (100MB at most). That's crazy. What I dislike more and more about OSX is how they have been aggresive against developers and technical people in the last years (like, why do I have to jump through hoops to modify my /usr/lib folder with SUDO/root? I AM ROOT ASSHOLE OS, LET ME DO WHATEVER I WANT TO MY COMPUTER. But other than that, it's OK.

This new version fixes issues that many customers have had with rubies built with darwin15 (OSX 10.11). For this version, no V8 pre-compiled binaries were available. So the install fallbacks on the source, and people with XCode 7.3 installed were unable to compile V8 as is - because Clang 7.3 now enables the -Wshift-negative-value warning - itself turned into error by a global -Werror defined in libv8. This resolves many issues raised by therubyracer users: https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues#205 https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer#405 https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer#403 Despite what the changelog states, this is indeed released, thanks to @ignisf. For the record, the error was looking like that: In file included from ../src/elements.h:32: ../src/objects.h:5252:44: error: shifting a negative signed value is undefin

It doesn't work currently on the rpi2 - there is at least one crash during install: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/8809 and https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer/issues/317 Gogs works though.

Actually, the twitter-bootstrap-rails[1] gem requires therubyracer[2] in order to compile LESS -> CSS. [1] https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails [2] https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer

Somebody needs to get this set up with The Ruby Racer[0], and run a JavaScript JavaScript implementation in a Ruby JavaScript bridge. [0]: https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer

The readme compares this to the ruby racer (https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer): Similarities: Both are using similar integration with ruby's garbage collector. Actually, Mustang's code which handles that references is just improved version of TheRubyRacer's code (check the ext/v8/v8_ref.cpp). Both are reflecting JS objects to ruby and vice-versa. Diffs: Mustang reflects all JavaScript objects and values properly. Properly, means all values from within V8 are reflected to Mustang::V8::* objects, regarding V8 inheritance tree which you can find here. Once reflected ruby object (and vice-versa) is always the same object in ruby world. All reflected V8 objects acts exacltly the same as ruby natives. For example you can deal with Mustang::V8::Array exactly the same as with native Ruby arrays (eg. they are comparable with ruby objects, et

Not the answer you were looking for, but you could run the Java lib with JRuby, or use the JS lib with Ruby/V8 and "The Ruby Racer" (https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer)
