So no.. they could for the benchmarks, while I'm not sure about it ideal for the transpiler (didn't look into it much).

For example: - Julia supports only dec, bin and hex format but in Ruby the decimal system is much powerful.(#to_s(num) and #to_i(num) are supported) - Julia doesn't have Class concept(there is workaround though) but Ruby does - Julia does not have a "null" value <http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/manual/faq/#how-does-null-or-nothingness-work-in-julia> but Ruby does - For example in Ruby [1,2,3].slice!(4) will return null but in julia there is no nil therefore this raises causes error. - Current workaround for this is, do not write this way, instead you need to check boundary by yourself. - And many more gaps to be solved - e.g.) In Julia typemax() and typemin() returns Inf but in Ruby Float::MAX, Float::MIN have specific value" A. I like you Julia doesn't have "null" (not strictly true, at least for C API..) to not have Hoare's self-admitted billion dollar mistake. Not sure thought, how best to help that project.. B. About Classes and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance that is I guess best, but maybe not to helpful for that project.. Should that be enough, to compile to that, or any other ideas? C. I'm sure Julia has as good decimal support as possible already, with two different packages. I'm not sure what's in Ruby (so can't comment on that code), I guess the maker of the project is not aware, only of what is in Base. > >> >> [may not work to transpile Ruby on Rails to Julia - yet, there is an old >> package RoR that allows it to work with Julia though.] >> > That is https://github.com/Ken-B/RoR_julia_eg that uses ZMQ.jl (better for IPC)? >> >> Interesting benchmarks here ("virtual_module" is transpiled, but "Julia >> 0.4.6 not, only to compare, and [can be] a little slower than Python..): >> >> https://github.com/remore/virtual_module >> >> >> Saw at: >> >> >> https://www.reddit.com/r/Julia/comments/5049pq/a_fresh_approach_to_numerical_computing_with_ruby/ >> >> [not really about to discuss here much.
