Introduction to TruffleRuby @ Teknologihuset, with techAngelist, by Oracle

Welcome to a new meetup!

This is for anyone working with or interested in Ruby/Ruby on Rails. Feel free to join us on Wednesday, March 20th, at Teknologihuset, starting 18:00.

# Introduction to TruffleRuby

TruffleRuby is a new implementation of Ruby from Oracle Labs. It's designed to run real Ruby code faster than other implementations of Ruby, and to give you powerful new tools for managing and debugging your Ruby application.

We'll show you why we're building TruffleRuby, a little bit about how it works, and what it achieves for Ruby users today.
