Specialising Dynamic Techniques for Implementing The Ruby Programming Language

I've been excited about this for a while, any word when this becomes part of the default in jruby?

It's available in 9.0.4.0 today, but I wouldn't advise using it yet. We hope to be running Rails in 2016 though.

My words are not enough to express how grateful I am as a Ruby user to you and your work! Amazing results! Hats off and may you have a bright career.

What I wanted to ask is, excluding Rails and big projects which understandably aren't the target yet, is 9.0.4.0 already theoretically able to achieve the said "up to an an order of magnitude" speed increase?

Again, thanks! This will be probably contemplated among the most important milestones ever in the Ruby language history!

Chris: what happens now? Will you continue the work or go to something else?

I'm continuing the project full-time at Oracle Labs, where the project started as an internship. I'm leading a small team working on it now, and we hope to be running Rails by the end of 2016.

I end up reading a few theses a year, I'm already 40 pages in. Congratulations for not only completing what must have been a rigorous course at one of the finest institutions in the world, but also having what seems to be a very high quality product of half a decade of work. If Guy Steele is still working on Fortress and he's in the same location as you, you should definitely float on over and have a chat. Then head out to Cambridge to work at MSR ;)
