Keep in mind that shipping "compiled" ruby can still be reverse engineered, but it will take time and be painful, so it's not really a protection but more like a due-diligence to deter lazy thieves. JRuby + Warbler is a good option, but JRuby is incompatible with C extensions, so you'll need to find pure-Ruby or JRuby-compatible alternatives or use FFI gem alternatives. If your app is small enough, you could possibly port it to Crystal which compiles to a native binary. If your app is really small, possibly try porting it to mruby, compile all of the source code to mrb bytecode, and embed that into a C program.
