A true Ruby compiler (for Linux)

People,

I have found RubyScript2Exe but that is not a real compiler. Ruby is
such an nice OO language to develop in - why isn’t there a demand to
compile a finished script? - then you get the benefits of fast
development times as well as fast run times.

Thanks,

Phil.

I think you’re confusing demand and supply.

Same type of thing that Python does now: byte-compile the python code
and
interpret through a VM. This will be available for Ruby 2.0, though you
can
use it now.
