Overview
mruby/edge is an mruby-compatible virtual machine implementation written in Rust, specifically designed for WebAssembly environments and embedded systems. Execute mruby bytecode and Ruby source code with minimal footprint and maximum safety.
WebAssembly-first Design
Optimized for running Ruby code in browsers and edge computing environments. Deploy Ruby applications anywhere WebAssembly runs.
Lightweight Runtime
Minimal footprint and binary size suitable for constrained environments. Perfect for resource-limited devices and applications.
no_std Core
Can run in environments without standard library support. Ideal for bare-metal and embedded systems programming.
mruby Compatible
Executes mruby bytecode (.mrb files) and Ruby source code. Leverage existing mruby tools and libraries.
Rust Safety
Built with Rust for memory safety and reliability. Eliminate entire classes of bugs and security vulnerabilities.
Quick Start
Installation
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
mrubyedge = "1.0"Running Precompiled Bytecode
Load and execute a precompiled *.mrb file:
use mrubyedge::rite;
use mrubyedge::yamrb::vm;
// Bundle the compiled script at build time
const SCRIPT: &[u8] = include_bytes!("./examples/simple.mrb");
fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {
let mut rite = rite::load(SCRIPT)?;
let mut vm = vm::VM::open(&mut rite);
let value = vm.run()?;
println!("{:?}", value);
Ok(())
