Wrapping Rust in Ruby
summary
Claims that Rust can be called from Ruby with low friction using oxidize-rb, demonstrated by a bundler --ext=rust scaffold, a found Rust crate in 35 seconds, and a working change_case gem that alternates string case; glue code uses Magnus so no manual memory frees are needed, debugging works with CodeLLDB, and CI builds using Docker and GitHub Actions produce precompiled gems per OS/arch uploaded to RubyGems so users install without compiling.
