JRuby, which dates again to 2001 as a Ruby language implementation for the JVM, is about to reach at model 10 shortly after the brand new 12 months. JRuby 10 guarantees to be totally appropriate with Ruby 3.4.0, a deliberate replace to Ruby that brings modifications for frozen string literals and sophistication updates. JRuby 10 will even help Rails 7.1 and later variations.
This would be the first time JRuby is launched with compatibility with the newest model of Ruby, stated JRuby challenge co-leader Charles Oliver Nutter, architect and technologist at Headius Enterprises, which helps JRuby. With the deliberate JRuby 10 launch, a minimal of Java 17 or Java 21 shall be required, enabling JRuby to benefit from more-modern JVM options, Nutter stated.
The builders of JRuby are notably all in favour of digital thread help from Java’s Venture Loom, to implement fibers, a key Ruby characteristic, Nutter stated. “I believe builders must be enthusiastic about JRuby as a result of we’re consistently pushing the sides of what Ruby and dynamic languages can do on the JVM, and making the most of as many new OpenJDK options as we will,” Nutter stated on September 28. “We proceed to help all appropriate JVMs on a broad vary of platforms, and are nonetheless one of the best ways to scale Ruby and Rails purposes to enterprise ranges.” Nutter co-leads the event of JRuby with Thomas Enebo.
