Would you want to learn Embedded System Development in Ruby?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ruby

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • mrubyc

    mruby/c is another implementation of mruby.

  • Depends on what you mean by embedded? Microcontrollers (AVG/Arduino)? System-on-a-Chip (SoC)? Embedded Linux system (Raspberry Pi, ARM/MIPS, etc)? There is mrubyc which has been put onto various embedded systems. However, if you want raw performance and minimal memory usage, C is probably still the best option; although it is notoriously difficult to write secure code in C, which is why Rust and Zig are becoming popular for embedded development.

  • MicroPython

    MicroPython - a lean and efficient Python implementation for microcontrollers and constrained systems

  • This. There’s a reason MicroPython ( https://micropython.org ) exists. It runs in 16kb of memory. Not everything has to be done with a chisel and stone in C.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
