GoogleSummerOfCode2012
This page hosts the ideas for Google Summer of Code 2012! Add your ideas here, improve others, and if you're a student, perhaps something on this list will interest you!
Here's some classic ideas to get you started:
-
or wrap a Java lib?
-
@headius's wrapper around spymemcached needs a nice compatible Ruby API.
-
The Ragel-generated JSON gem for JRuby is currently slower than C versions because Ragel does not generate gotos (since Java has no gotos). Investigate ways to improve perf, possibly by adding JVM bytecode support (JVM bytecode has goto) to Ragel.
Ruboto is working, and has a solid IRB application and tools for generating apps. But there's more we can do, like shrinking the app, improving performance, and building better tooling.
There's a few good JVMs that work on embedded devices, which means there's an opportunity for JRuby to expand into embedded applications.
Kilim provides a fast coroutine implementation that could be used to provide Fibers or other lightweight tasks inside JRuby. Kilim can now weave bytecode at runtime so integration with a language like JRuby might now be practical.
