# The lang/rubinius port

## rubinius-1.2.4p3 – Ruby virtual machine and core library

## Description

    Rubinius is an implementation of the Ruby programming language.

    The Rubinius bytecode virtual machine is written in C++, incorporating
    LLVM to compile bytecode to machine code at runtime. The bytecode
    compiler and vast majority of the core classes are written in pure Ruby.

    To interact with the rest of the system, the VM provides primitives
    which can be attached to methods and invoked. Additionally, FFI provides
    a direct call path to most C functions.

    Rubinius uses a precise, compacting, generational garbage collector. It
    includes a compatible C-API for C extensions written for the standard
    Ruby interpreter (often referred to as MRI.Matz's Ruby Implementation).
