01:54 <cojy_> if i want to implement a language using rubinius, is there jit hints or the like to use (like i would in RPython)?

01:55 <cojy_> and/or are the underlying libraries suitable for using in a compiler directly rather than just writing an interpreter and expecting rubinius to do the rest?

02:13 <|jemc|> cojy_: right now, there's not much you can change about the JIT from a runtime

02:14 <|jemc|> but you can compile to rubinius bytecode (as an alternative to just writing your language as an interpreter in ruby)

02:14 <cojy_> that sounds good to me

02:15 <|jemc|> right now, there aren't as many friendly tutorials as there should be but my advice would be to just pick a goal and dive in

02:16 <|jemc|> there are some examples of other languages you can look at for ideas

02:16 <|jemc|> there's fancy: https://github.com/fancy-lang

02:17 <|jemc|> there's myco (my language project): https://github.com/jemc/myco

02:18 <|jemc|> there's typhon (an implementation of python): https://github.com/vic/typhon

02:18 <|jemc|> and a handful of others

02:18 <cojy_> do they generate bytecode or just rubinius AST?

02:19 <|jemc|> if you have questions or need hints, just ask here or in the gitter channel: https://gitter.im/rubinius/rubinius

02:19 <|jemc|> oh, there's also another recent one, huia: https://github.com/jamesotron/Huia

02:19 <|jemc|> I think most of them generate bytecode through their own AST

02:19 <|jemc|> mine does

02:20 <|jemc|> although I'm moving it toward a bit more of an evaluated AST model

02:22 <|jemc|> if you want to practice generating bytecode methods from ruby, check out Module#dynamic_method
