Has anyone tried having Discourse on the truffleruby ? Does it make sense to look in this direction?

Interesting. Why did they decide to fork not contribute I wonder?

@merefield Truffleruby is an implementation of Ruby for GraalVM by Oracle guys. Good performance and interoperability with other languages on GraalVM. It’s not a fork. I have some experience with Rails on Truffleruby and want to check Discourse next week. Some additional information - Running Rac…
