I am not very familiar with MacRuby, anyone know if it plays well with Rails and its libraries?

It's really cool that 0.5 uses LLVM. Does anyone know how this it stacks up against the other Ruby implementations?




Rails compatibility is apparently on the long-term roadmap, but I believe it is a long way off yet.

Using 0.4, I was unable to get any of the mainstream testing libraries (especially RSpec, and including Test::Unit) to work properly, and I struggled with simpler alternatives such as Bacon. Not sure how 0.5 will fare with these yet.


How many Rails apps run on an OSX server?


More if macruby worked and was significantly faster.
