Spoke to Chris in person at a conference shortly before he died. What a tragic loss. Rest in peace.

I really enjoyed reading Chris's deep dives on Ruby internals.<p>This one to be specific.<p><a href="https://chrisseaton.com/truffleruby/rubykaigi21/" rel="nofollow">https://chrisseaton.com/truffleruby/rubykaigi21/</a><p>Rest in peace.

I've used JRuby with some success in production fairly recently to bridge two codebases, one previously in MRI Ruby and another in Java. It honestly worked well, but I always wondered about TruffleRuby and how it would have played out if I had chosen that runtime instead. I may still give truffle a go, but it's on the back burner for now.<p>Anyone have personal experience with all both runtimes and which jvm interop works better? I kinda wish both had unified their interop APIs better, especially given they used to coexist in the same repo for a time...

GraalVM is genuinely great -- Native Image and the polyglot story are impressive.<p>I was put off by the earlier licensing - it was confusing, which wasn't great in a license. The GraalVM Free Terms and Conditions "GFTC" now seems better (curious if people agree?), but I wonder if it came too late.<p>The decoupling from Java SE was good in many ways, but it also made the future a little less clear too.
