Hubris: The Ruby/Haskell Bridge

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Hubris provides a concrete bridge so Ruby code can call Haskell from Ruby by compiling Haskell into a shared object and exposing it as a Ruby extension. The demo shows a mandelbrot microbenchmark with mandelbrot: Ruby 21s Haskell 2s C 0s, highlighting real speedups. Practical limits include type marshaling quirks—strings map to ByteString—and exported functions currently taking one argument. Setup requires GHC 6.12 and careful cabal/config flags—requires GHC 6.12.
