Opal v1.7 released with Ruby 3.2 support
Opal itself aims just at creating a Ruby runtime and a couple of life improvements, but there exist a couple of helper gems, for instance Opal-Browser (for an idiomatic API to interact with DOM and other browser APIs), Opal-Rails (for integrating with a Sprockets pipeline of Rails), Opal-RSpec (to test your frontend application). There exist a number of libraries and bindings to JS libraries for Opal.
-
Opal 1.6.0 and Opal-RSpec 1.0.0 released
Opal is a Ruby (3.1) to JavaScript (ES5) compiler allowing you to write frontend code in pure Ruby and have it translated to clean and efficient JavaScript. It also includes a highly compatible core library that includes all the methods you've come to love. All this with a robust support of source maps, so you can debug Ruby code, not JavaScript in your Web Console. It can be used both to create websites entirely in Ruby (using Opal-Browser, or ports of known JavaScript libraries) and to port existing Ruby libraries to JavaScript, to be ran both in Node.JS and in web browsers (and other JavaScript environments).
-
Opal 1.5.0 released - compile Ruby to JS and run it in a browser
You can use opal-browser, which - just like jQuery itself - wraps the DOM API, is much more maintained than opal-jquery, offers much more functionality and has a similar API to opal-jquery (and to Nokogiri).
For Rails integration we provide opal-rails, a Gem, that after inclusion will transparently handle .rb files in your JavaScript asset directory (via Sprockets). To interface with a web browser, you would also need to use opal-browser. As an alternative you can use Hyperstack, which deeply integrates React, Rails and Opal.
-
Opal 1.3 released
Opal itself is a low-level thing, not depending on Rails whatsoever. We provide an official Gem for integration with Rails that integrates everything nicely and allows you to have .rb files in your JavaScript assets directory. Unlike Rails, Opal is not opinionated, to interface with web browser APIs properly you need to either use a library that wraps DOM directly, use a similar one that wraps jQuery or use Hyperstack, a fully-fledged Rails-integrated framework based on React that also allows you to share your models between frontend and backend. It's also possible to not use any of those and interface JavaScript APIs directly using an API that looks like this: $$[:document][:location].replace("https://opalrb.com/") or simply embed JavaScript with a backtick notation: `document.location.replace(#{@url})`.

Ask HN: Interactive tutorials for learning basics of terminal?
I want to recommend an interactive resource to someone new to programming.
Something like https://try.ruby-lang.org/, but for the terminal.
Most of the top hits on Google either seem to also dive into unnecessary history, scripting/Git, or are not interactive.
Ideas?

Learn to Program by Chris Pine
My advice is to spend half an hour (maybe split in 2 sessions) on try-ruby Nothing to download, no install, all in your browser. See if you like it and move on accordingly.

The Easiest and Hardest Programming Languages to Learn
Additionally, two recommended books for mastering Ruby are “Eloquent Ruby” by Russ Olsen and “Ruby Programming for Beginners: An Introduction to Learning Ruby Programming with Tutorials and Hands-On Examples” by Nathan Metzler. Furthermore, aside from courses and books, other online resources are available for learning Ruby, such as Tutorialspoint and try.ruby-lang.org.

Hey guys, just getting into programming and wanted to know if anyone has any tips or resources for learning Ruby as a beginner. Thanks in advance!
Try https://try.ruby-lang.org/ for half an hour to see if you get the hang of it.

Opal Won the Fukuoka Ruby Award 2023 for Outstanding Performance
Opal is used on https://try.ruby-lang.org/ (it is a static website, but the entire website is Ruby, no JavaScript: https://github.com/ruby/TryRuby/ )

Help!
ChatGPT can’t write working code very well. If all this seems beyond you, you might want to start with some Ruby fundamentals first. Try Ruby is a good starting point.

Opal v1.7 released with Ruby 3.2 support
Like Ruby WASI, it allows you to run Ruby in a web browser, but it takes a different approach - it is, like JRuby, a complete reimplementation of Ruby. Unlike Ruby WASI, you don't have to ship the entire Ruby compiler - you just ship your code compiled to JavaScript along with (possibly) minimal Ruby runtime. You can compare and contrast both on a recently updated TryRuby website (which itself - is a 100% Ruby frontend application compiled with Opal!).

YASL - Yet Another Serialization Library - A pure Ruby auto-serialization library that works across different Ruby implementations like Opal and JRuby as an automatic alternative to YAML/Marshal. Unlike Marshal, it does not raise errors for unserializable objects, thus provides a highly productive friction-free auto-serialization experience.
