Huh, what exactly doesn't work? Their own readme says "TruffleRuby runs Rails and is compatible with many gems, including C extensions." (https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby)

super interesting , actually I am also a contributer of the https://github.com/bddicken/languages and after I had tried to create a lua approach , I started to think of truffleruby as it was mentioned somewhere but unfortunately when I had run the code of main.rb , there was virtually no significant difference b/w truffleruby and main.rb (sometimes normal ruby was faster than truffleruby)
I am not sure if the benchmark that you had provided showing the speed of truffleruby were made after the changes that you have made.
I would really appreciate it if I could verify the benchmark
and maybe try to add it to the main https://github.com/bddicken/languages as a commit as well , because the truffleruby implementation actually is faster than the node js and goes close to bun or even golang for that matter which is nuts.
This was a fun post to skim through , definitely bookmarking it.

> There was a PR to improve the performance of `Integer#succ` in early 2024, which helped me understand why anyone would ever use it: “We use `Integer#succ` when we rewrite loop methods in Ruby (e.g. `Integer#times` and `Array#each`) because `opt_succ (i = i.succ)` is faster to dispatch on the interpreter than `putobject 1; opt_plus (i += 1)`.”
I find myself using `#succ` most often for readability reasons, not just for performance. Here's an example where I use it twice in my UUID library's `#bytes` method (compare to `String#bytes`) where I use it to keep my brain in “bit slicing mode” when reading the code. I need to loop 16 times (0xF.succ) and then within that loop divide things by 256 (0xFF.succ): https://github.com/okeeblow/DistorteD/blob/ba48d10/Globe%20G...
