Here's the proposed 1.1 roadmap Tom, Nick and I came up with this
afternoon. Add remove as you see fit, we'll try to iron it out.
- compiler complete
- AOT compilation working with jrubyc
- stdlib all precompiled
- gem install precompilation
- virtual filesystem-inside-JVM (maybe) or hacked rubygems that can
run out of an archive
- performance improvement to be quantified...java integration,
execution, memory reduction
- yarv bytecode execution and compilation (maybe)
- AST sharing as an option (sharing across runtimes)...need to
explore AOT compilation and its (positive?) effect on memory too
- real threading brutalization, testably multithread-safe core
classes (maybe, needs heavy testing on many-core systems)
- Java API rubification, perhaps with require 'javax.swing' and so on
- RubyConf for release
I accept responsibility for the compiler stuff, and I'm confident I can
have it all done by then. The big remaining items are tough, but there's
two months.
All told, it should be a pretty wicked release.
- Charlie
