@eregon Is it possible to compile Ruby directly to machine code or is it impossible without node rewriting that GraalVM does?

If you've ever worked as a freelancer/contractor, I would love your input!

I'm building an invoice convenience and automation tool: https://reseat.vercel.app/

Would you pay for something like this?

@postmodern Unfortunately I think this was inevitable. There were way too many companies gobbling up VC money for the sake of growth but not profitability.

This is why I was always a fan of bootstrapped/profitable companies, because they know how to use the money wisely. IMO this crash will eventually lead to people building more profitable businesses.

@nerdypepper Deja vu

Anyways, take care man! How'd it happen?

@tenderlove I tried writing one, just to learn some Zig. There was just too much type casting needed between Zig and C
If you want to write a Ruby extension in Zig, that's fine though (just kidding, please don't)
@k0kubun I never liked numbered params anyways
@postmodern Well Microsoft owns them both so I don't think it'll happen.

Matz spent so much time and effort coming up with an elegant syntax for Ruby, then I go ahead and write a Ruby program in just C

My apologies

@timriley I'm starting to think conference driven development is a great way to work on side projects
