rVM is a Ruby-based virtual machine that enables developers to incorporate scripting capabilities into their Ruby programs in a seamless and efficient manner.
If you want to add scripting capabilities to your Ruby programs, rVM may be the perfect virtual machine for you. Developed entirely in Ruby, rVM lets you run scripts completely separate from the Ruby code and only provides access to selected methods for added security and functionality.
For those who are not familiar with Ruby, it is a dynamic, reflective, and general-purpose object-oriented programming language that was first developed in Japan in the mid-1990s by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto. Ruby supports multiple programming paradigms and has a dynamic type system, automatic memory management, and syntax inspired by Perl with Smalltalk-like features.
Currently, Ruby's official implementation is written in C and is a single-pass interpreted language. As there is no specification of the Ruby language, the original implementation serves as the de facto reference. However, there are now several complete or upcoming alternative implementations of the Ruby language, including JRuby, YARV, Rubinius, IronRuby, and MacRuby, each with different approaches, with JRuby and IronRuby offering just-in-time compilation functionality.
Overall, rVM is a useful addition to Ruby programs that can add a layer of functionality and security.
