C Ruby? C Ruby Go! Go Ruby Go!
summary
Tool gorb generates native extension wrappers that turn ordinary Go packages into compiled .so libraries callable from MRI Ruby, using a command like gorbgen to auto-generate the CRuby boilerplate and run Go build. Examples include a Fibonacci microbenchmark (about 10x speed over Ruby), an HTTP server and mutable-array interop. It builds with an embedded Go runtime and works, but has limits: GIL constraints, limited block and channel support, restricted array and stdlib type mappings.
