andreaTP (Sep 30 2026 at 10:36):Hey @Charles Nutter ! Really happy to see you around here :smile:
andreaTP (Sep 30 2026 at 10:38):For Redline, I need to fix those 3 items: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/endive/issues 201/202/203 and we can re-evaluate, I'll try to prioritize but I'm a bit swamped (a bit worst than usual ...)
Charles Nutter (Oct 02 2026 at 20:07):I added some comments on all of those. Let me know if you have questions about how JRuby handles thread interrupts for Ruby.
Charles Nutter (Oct 02 2026 at 20:57):Here's the startup time difference for JRuby legacy parser vs native prism vs WASM prism btw
[] jruby $ time jruby --dev -e 1
jruby --dev -e 1 0.71s user 0.11s system 165% cpu 0.493 total
[] jruby $ time jruby -Xparser.prism --dev -e 1
jruby -Xparser.prism --dev -e 1 0.65s user 0.10s system 168% cpu 0.444 total
[] jruby $ time jruby -Xparser.prism.wasm --dev -e 1
jruby -Xparser.prism.wasm --dev -e 1 1.55s user 0.18s system 176% cpu 0.979 total
Hey I see that 202 and 203 have been resolved. Not sure what your criteria is for releasing but I'd be happy with what you have right now :-)
Charles Nutter (Oct 09 2026 at 01:14):I'll try a snapshot build with my JRuby branch and see how startup looks now
Charles Nutter (Oct 09 2026 at 02:20):New startup times looking much better! Still a bit slower than starting up with legacy parser but it's almost there. About 70 .rb files get parsed at boot.
Charles Nutter (Oct 09 2026 at 02:24):numbers: https://gist.github.com/headius/f1adee542d7267dc124c91784fb52725
Prism native (not through Endive) is similar to legacy parser startup or a little bit faster, for comparison
andreaTP (Oct 09 2026 at 09:50):Thanks a lot for the doublecheck @Charles Nutter !
Numbers look very promising :-)
Quick question, do you have any time constraint?
I can release anytime, but I was thinking about end of the month (October 2026) to be able to tight things a little more.
