99 |
| - <p> |
100 |
| - It's easy! Just download the source for rubinius, build it, and type "rbx docs". This |
101 |
| - will pop up a web browser for the embedded documentation. This will walk you through |
102 |
| - writing a patch and ticket. |
103 |

104 |
| - <p> |
105 |
| - If there is any confusion, just stop by IRC ( |

138 |
| - <p>Rubinius is software that translates the code for the Ruby programming language such as</p> |
139 |
| - <p class='code' id='human_readable'>puts "hello world"</p> |
140 |
| - <p>and turns it into efficient machine code like this</p> |
141 |
| - <p class='code' id='machine_readable'>push %rbp; mov %rsp, %rbp; push %rbx; subq $0x98, %rsp; cmp $0x0, 0x10(%rcx); call 0xffffffffff472010; jmp 0x9c; …</p> |
142 |
| - <p>then executes it.</p> |
143 |
| - |
144 |
| - <p class='more'> |
145 |
| - A large aspect of popular languages such as C and Java is that the majority |
146 |
| - of the functionality available to the programmer is written in the language itself. |
147 |
| - Rubinius has the goal of adding Ruby to that list. |
148 |
| - Rubyists could more easily add features to the language, fix bugs, and learn |
149 |
| - how the language works. |
150 |
| - Wherever possible Rubinius is written in Ruby. Where not possible (yet), it's C++. |

| - <h3>Technically, what is Rubinius?</h3> |
156 |
| - <div class='span-24'> |
157 |
| - <p> |
158 |
| - |
159 |
| - Rubinius is an implementation of the |
160 |
| - <a href="http://ruby-lang.org">Ruby programming language.</a> |
161 |
| - </p> |
162 |
| - <p> |
163 |
| - The Rubinius bytecode virtual machine is written in C++, incorporating |
164 |
| - LLVM to compile bytecode to machine code at runtime. |
165 |
| - The bytecode compiler and vast majority of the core classes are |
166 |
| - written in pure Ruby. |
167 |
| - </p> |
168 |
| - <p> |
169 |
| - To interact with the rest of the system, the VM provides primitives which |
170 |
| - can be attached to methods and invoked. Additionally, FFI provides a |
171 |
| - direct call path to most C functions. |
172 |
| - </p> |
173 |
| - <p> |
174 |
| - |
175 |
| - Rubinius uses a precise, compacting, generational garbage collector. |
176 |
| - It includes a compatible C-API for C extensions written for the standard |
177 |
| - Ruby interpreter (often referred to as MRI—Matz's Ruby Implementation). |

223 |
| - <div class='span-12'> |
224 |
| - <p> |
225 |
| - From the start, compatibility has been critical to us. To that end, we created the |
226 |
| - <a href="http://rubyspec.org">RubySpec</a> |
227 |
| - to ensure that we maintained parity with official Ruby. |
228 |
| - We are currently at a 93% RubySpec pass rate and growing everyday. |
229 |
| - </p> |
230 |
| - <p> |
231 |
| - For now Rubinius is targeting MRI 1.8.7 (1.9 is on the post 1.0 list). |
232 |
| - Most Gems, Rails plugins and C-Extensions work right out of the box. |
233 |
| - If you find a bug, |
234 |
| - <a href="http://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/issues">let us know</a> |
235 |
| - |
236 |
| - and we'll get on top of it. |
