[![API trunk](https://img.shields.io/badge/docs-trunk-blue.svg)](https://artichoke.github.io/artichoke/artichoke/)Artichoke is a Ruby implementation written in Rust and Ruby. Artichoke intends
to be [MRI-compatible][ruby-spec] and targets [recent MRI Ruby][mri-target].
Artichoke provides a Ruby runtime implemented in Rust and Ruby.## Try Artichoke
Artichoke Ruby Wasm PlaygroundYou can [try Artichoke in your browser][playground]. The [Artichoke
Playground][playground-repo] runs a [WebAssembly] build of Artichoke.## Install Artichoke
### Prebuilt nightly binaries
[Download a prebuilt binary from artichoke/nightly][nightlies]. Binaries are
available for Linux, Linux/musl, macOS, and Windows.These daily binaries track the latest trunk branch of Artichoke.
Binaries are also distributed through [ruby-build]. To install with [rbenv]:
```console
$ rbenv install artichoke-dev
```### Cargo
You can install a pre-release build of Artichoke using `cargo`, Rust's package
manager, by running:```console
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/artichoke/artichoke --branch trunk --locked artichoke
```To install via `cargo install` or to checkout and build locally, you'll need
Rust and clang. [`BUILD.md`](BUILD.md) has more detail on
[how to set up the compiler toolchain](BUILD.md#prerequisites).### Docker
[Artichoke is available on Docker Hub][docker-hub].
You can launch a REPL by running:
```sh
docker run -it docker.io/artichokeruby/artichoke airb
```## Usage
Artichoke ships with two binaries: `airb` and `artichoke`.
### `airb`
`airb` is the Artichoke implementation of `irb` and is an interactive Ruby shell
and [REPL].`airb` is a readline-enabled shell, although it does not persist history.
### `artichoke`
`artichoke` is the `ruby` binary frontend to Artichoke.
`artichoke` supports executing programs via files, stdin, or inline with one or
more `-e` flags.Artichoke can `require`, `require_relative`, and `load` files from the local
file system, but otherwise does not yet support local file system access. A
temporary workaround is to inject data into the interpreter with the
`--with-fixture` flag, which reads file contents into a `$fixture` global.```console
$ artichoke --help
Artichoke is a Ruby made with Rust.Usage: artichoke [OPTIONS] [programfile] [arguments]...
Arguments:
[programfile]
[arguments]...Options:
--copyright print the copyright
-e one line of script. Several -e's allowed. Omit [programfile]
--with-fixture file whose contents will be read into the `$fixture` global
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```## Design and Goals
Artichoke is [designed to enable experimentation](VISION.md). The top goals of
the project are:- [Support WebAssembly as a build target][o-wasm].
- Support embedding and executing Ruby in untrusted environments.
- [Distribute Ruby applications as single-binary artifacts][a-single-binary].
- [Implement Ruby with state-of-the-art dependencies][a-deps].
- Experiment with VMs to support [dynamic codegen][a-codegen], [ahead of time
compilation][a-compiler], [parallelism and eliminating the
GIL][a-parallelism], and novel [memory management and garbage collection
techniques][a-memory-management].## Contributing
Artichoke aspires to be an [MRI Ruby-compatible][mri-target] implementation of
the Ruby programming language. [There is lots to do][github-issues].If Artichoke does not run Ruby source code in the same way that MRI does, it is
a bug and we would appreciate if you [filed an issue so we can fix
it][file-an-issue].If you would like to contribute code 👩💻👨💻, find an issue that looks interesting
and leave a comment that you're beginning to investigate. If there is no issue,
please file one before beginning to work on a PR. [Good first issues are labeled
`E-easy`][e-easy].### Discussion
