I have an idea to statically compile mruby applications to native code with hardly any dynamic dispatch. I need to make mruby for JVM, apply my secret trick, and compile to native with GraalVM. Result would be tiny and very, very fast. Need to find a sponsor.
@headius so nice that graalvm has come so far. was such a difficult approach a while back
@hipsterelectron Native image is only useful for a closed world but I think I have a way to compile Ruby so it would be fully static. I experimented with it years ago but never took the idea very far.
