London Ruby User Group:Challenges in making Ruby run effectively on a JVM
Challenges in making Ruby run effectively on a JVM
During the March LRUG meeting, Kresten Krab Thorup, track host and speaker at both QCon and RubyFools gave us an overview of the issues, trade-offs and challenges in making dynamic object-oriented languages run effectively; both in general, and specifically making Ruby run well on the JVM. Kresten has many years deep knowledge of getting the most out of a JVM, and has recently been working on an research project on building yet another JVM-based virtual machine for Ruby and thus, the talk is organized around issues and findings in building this virtual machine.
ABOUT THE LONDON RUBY USER GROUP

LRUG is the London Ruby User Group; a community of ruby developers based in and around London. We meet up at least once a month; on the 2nd Wednesday of the month we have meetings with talks, demos and such-like and then we have pub-based meetups organised on an ad-hoc basis (roughly half-way between meetings).
