Compatibility yeah I don't think there's any reason we can't be very close to 100% there.

For parts of the Ruby ecosystem running production workloads, such as the Liquid template engine, I see 6x performance today. I think that's a realistic goal in time.

Wow, that's amazing!

Any rough estimates on when the masses will be able to run RoR on TruffleRuby?

(Just order of magnitude timing ... e.g. late 2020, mid 2021, etc.)

If people are motivated to help TruffleRuby then the best thing they can do is test the specs and performance of their gems.

If people have Sinatra apps or similar they could also try those now.

I'm in the GraalVM Slack - https://www.graalvm.org/community/ - ask me for help.

Don't want to speculate more than that.
