Opal
Compiles Ruby-like language to JS
Question #1: Is it Ruby?
Maximally tries to be Ruby
FAQ: How compatible is Opal?
We run opal against rubyspec as our primary testingsetup. We try to make Opal as compatible as possible,whilst also taking into account restrictions ofJavaScript when applicable. Opal supports themajority of ruby syntax features, as well as a verylarge part of the corelib implementation. We supportmethod_missing, modules, classes, instance_exec,blocks, procs and lots lots more. Opal can compileand run Rspec unmodified, as well as self hosting thecompiler at runtime.
In Other Words:
Kinda. Mostly. Lots!
Question #2: Is it horribly slow?
Key semantic differences:
· Numbers are JS floats· Symbol == String, are immutable· No threads· No frozen objects· No private/protected
"foo" # => "foo", class String < React::Component::Base:foo # => "foo", class String < React::Component::Base
42 # => 42, class Numeric < React::Component::Base3.141 # => 3.142, class Numeric < React::Component::Base5.to_r # Error: undefined method (next ver!)
# Ruby->JS integration
`window.title` # => window.title
%x{ console.log("opal version is: #{ RUBY_ENGINE_VERSION }");}
puts "opal version is: #{ RUBY_ENGINE_VERSION }"
// JS->Ruby integration
Opal.Foo.$new().$hello()
# One source of slowdown:# In Ruby, and thus in Opal...
6 * 7
# ...is really...
6.send(:+, 7)
So far... haven't noticed any speed difference.
Question #3: Does it actually work?
(DEMO Opal IRB)

Works For Me!™
Question #4: Can you debug it?
Er... next question please.
(haha. But seriously, during demos wedebug some things without issue!)
Question #5: Oookkkkaayy?
