I did a thing.
Sam Ruby has helped shape the web for decades, and @GregMolnar and I got an hour with him on episode 3 of the @PingbackPodcast. I'm extremely honored. Thanks, @samruby. pingbackpodcast.com/episodes/episo…
You can find the Dockerfile that can be used to deploy Campfire here: rubys.github.io/roundhouse/app…
We talked about Roundhouse and Spinel on the pod last week with @joelga and @RaulOnRails. Spoiler alert, we will be talking about it again tomorrow! Stay tuned!
@schwabsauce There is no question that DHH gave an edgy talk. He also did not mention Roundhouse and in fact endorsed a completely different direction. He's pursuing his vision, I'm pursuing mine, which is exactly how it should be.
Consequence? Both Spinel and Roundhouse started before Rails World.
the words of @dhh triggered Ruby people but the consequence is that we improve the Ruby tooling now - spinel and roundhouse are good examples
@sahv FWIW, I attribute that to statements made by Jeremy and Matz at Rails World, relating to a discussion of his ongoing work on Spinel.
@MaxPressense Interest in Roundhouse spiked twice: first after Euruko and then after Rails World. FWIW, I attribute both to statements made by Matz.
Pure poetry. "Why even spend precious tokens on improving the gardens we already live in if you can raze them to the ground and replace them with glorious concrete?"
A renaissance, you just have to make a modicum of effort to see it - and a tiny bit more to enjoy it. We are living in the Weimar era of Ruby blog.julik.nl/2026/10/the-we… With reverence to @samruby @schwad_rb @mhenrixon @yo_waka and others
Compiling a real production @rzilient_club Rails API into a single native binary with #roundhouse + #Spinel (AOT Ruby → C): it now builds, boots and serves, with responses checked field by field against Rails. Along the way: 69 PRs merged into roundhouse and 31 Spinel bugs filed (all 31 fixed). Next: a full route-by-route comparison against Rails. And for Mastodon, following @samruby 's advice, the new Futamura target, keep Rails and the gems, then profile and specialize the hot spots.
Whole Routes in a Box: the hope/plan is to enable moving an application from Rails to Roundhouse one route at a time. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/10/1…
My read: this is what happens when you treat LLMs as "clankers". I don't name my LLMs, but I sense those that do will get better results. I use Claude as a peer that just happens to be smarter than me. My role is closer to "managing up". Those are the skills to have.
Also, to clarify, Redis is just one of several checks that are being enforced differently across languages. So we are effectively measuring how AI can evolve different languages, with different prompts, with different baselines, with different efforts, and different guarantees.
When you think about a Ruby on Rails conference in India, what do you imagine? 💃💃💃Of course we danced, and not only on stage! At @hideccanqueen 🔥
I often use Data class like that. Roundhouse (by @samruby) didn’t support it yet, so I have prepared a PR to fix it. github.com/rubys/roundhou… Thanks to @thomasklemm for the help with merging here!
Readability/elegance vs performance... Why not both?
ZJIT is now as fast as YJIT railsatscale.com/2026-10-09-zji…
@TheDumbTechGuy The apps I've looked at so far don't use engines, so I'm not surprised there is a gap. As the number of conributors grows, I don't think there will be any one person who knows what has been explored so far. Come join the fun!
Would you be willing to look into Roundhouse? I'm willing to spend the tokens with you guiding the effort.
@dhh I have asked my clanker to send some PRs for the Elixir one. Please ask your clanker to verify them and tell your clanker we are allowed to deviate from the Rails version in the same way Express/Go/Rust/ do (it was objecting to that in other PRs)! The clanker says there is more
@AptoTemplario spin-index (including the pull requests) is that list of compatible gems for spinel. spinelgems.org may also be of interest.
@AptoTemplario First try transpiling your app to Ruby. That's what Shopify is focused on: intertwingly.net/blog/2026/10/0… rubys.github.io/roundhouse/ben… ; then pretty much yes for other targets you will need replacements. The good news is that LLMs are good at building them. github.com/matz/spin-index check PRs
Less than one day after @yukihiro_matz merged windows support, it's possible to write Ruby inside a browser window and download compiled binaries. (* The binaries build in your browser, but you are trusting the buildchain downloaded from my server) chunkybacon.idogawa.com/en/spinel
