1. What is Rubinius Rubinius is an implementation of the Ruby programming language. Rubinius includes a bytecode virtual machine, parser, bytecode compiler, garbage collector, and just-in-time (JIT) native machine code compiler. The Ruby core library is written almost entirely in Ruby. Rubinius provides the same standard libraries as Matz's Ruby implementation (MRI). Rubinius also provides C-API compatibility for native C extensions. Rubinius currently is compatible with Ruby version 1.8.7. Support for Ruby version 1.9.2 is coming soon. Rubinius runs on Mac OS X and many Unix/Linux operating systems. Support for Microsoft Windows is coming soon. Most popular Ruby applications, like Rails, run on Rubinius. 2. License Rubinius uses the BSD license. See LICENSE for details. 3. Installing Rubinius from Source To install Rubinius, use the following steps: 1.
