Rubinius is an implementation of the Ruby programming language. The Rubinius bytecode virtual machine is written in C++, incorporating LLVM to compile bytecode to machine code at runtime. The bytecode compiler and vast majority of the core classes are written in pure Ruby.
To interact with the rest of the system, the VM provides primitives which can be attached to methods and invoked. Additionally, FFI provides a direct call path to most C functions. Rubinius uses a precise, compacting, generational garbage collector. It includes a compatible C-API for C extensions written for the standard Ruby interpreter (often referred to as MRI.Matz's Ruby Implementation). Thanks to a lot of work by myself and the rubinius developers, rubinius now needs no patches to compile and run on OpenBSD. Currently, LLVM support is disabled since Rubinius currently only supports LLVM 2.6. They will be adding LLVM 2.7 support in the next release, which will work with the in-tree version of LLVM, which should speed things up quite a bit. After this is imported, I'll be adding support to ruby.port.mk so that you can build rubinius versions of the gem and extconf ports. Tested on amd64 and i386. Looking for OKs. Jeremy
