JRuby: a Brief
History
Where it came from, and where it is now


History
• September 10, 2001
Source:(Wikipedia


History


History
• 10+ years old
• Led by Charles Nutter and
Tom Enebo
• 14.800+ commits


Project Status
• Current Stable Release:
1.6.5
• Compatible with Ruby
1.8.7 and 1.9.2
• Supports Rails 3.1

Quick Tour of
Ruby
A brief overview of the language


Classes

public class Circle extends Shape { class Circle < Shape
private final int radius; def initialize(radius)
@radius = radius
public Circle(int radius) { end
this.radius = radius;
} attr_reader :radius
public int getRadius() {
return radius; def area
} Math::PI*(@radius **
public double getArea() { 2)
return Math.PI * Math.pow(radius,2); end
} end
public static void main(String[] a) {
double area=new Circle(2).getArea(); puts Circle.new(2).area
System.out.println(area);
}
}


Single Inheritance
Same Thing
@radius = radius
} end
}
}


Constructor

@radius = radius
} end
}
}


No Type Declarations

@radius = radius
} end
}
}


Instance Variables
‘@’ == ‘this.’ and is mandatory
@radius = radius
} end
}
}


Working with Instance Variables
Common tasks are easy
@radius = radius
} end
}
}


Symbols
:identifier

• Prefixed with a colon
• Uniquely defined in a runtime


Point of No Return
Last Expression is always return value
@radius = radius
} end
}
}


.new is just a class method

@radius = radius
} end
}
}


Blocks/Closures
• Pass an anonymous function to a method call
# Look mom...no boilerplate!
my_open(file) do |io| letters.group_by {|b| b.zip_code }
first_line = io.gets
# ...
end

def my_open(file, mode='r')
io = File.open(file)
yield io button.action_performed do
ensure exit
io.close end
end


Modules
module Enumerable class MyTree
def find(if_none = nil) include Enumerable
each { |o| return o if yield(o) }
if_none # tree impl not shown :)
end
def each
# Many other methods not shown # yield each element
# in tree
def collect end
ary = [] end
each { |o| ary << yield(o) }
ary
end
end

dude = people.find { |person| person.id == 123 }

floats = [1,2].collect { |int| int.to_f } # => [1.0, 2.0]


Everything is an Expression

class Color
COLORS = {:red => 0xff0000, :green => 0x00ff00, :blue => 0x0000ff}

COLORS.each do |name, value|
define_method(name) do
value
end
end
end


Classes/Modules are open

class MyTree
def each
#...
end
end

#... later in source
#... maybe even different file

class MyTree
def debug
#...
end
end


Pure OO Language
• Everything is an object
MyTree.foo #=> method call
12 + 8 #=> here, '+' is a method on Fixnum, 12.
12.to_s(8) #=> "14"
puts 11.odd? #=> true

NAME
tgamma, lgamma, gamma -- gamma and log of gamma

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>

double
tgamma(double x);
⋮

DESCRIPTION
tgamma() calculates the gamma function of x. lgamma()
calculates the natural logorithm of the absolute value of the
gamma function of x. gamma() is the same function as tgamma.
Its use is deprecated.

Indy TODOs
• Remaining invocation paths
–varargs, super, all Java paths
• Per-type specialization
–Faster block-receiving calls
–Faster module methods
• More code in Ruby!
