An implementation of the Ruby programming language, in Python, using the RPython VM toolchain. Its goals are simplicity of implementation and performance.
You'll need to have a few dependencies installed. You can get them with pip
install -r requirements.txt. Finally make sure you have a recent checkout of
PyPy and have it on your PYTHONPATH.
To run the tests:
$ py.test
To translate run:
$ /path/to/pypy/src/rpython/bin/rpython -Ojit targettopaz.py
This will compile Topaz with a JIT, it'll take 5-10 minutes.
To run Topaz directly on top of Python you can do:
$ python -m topaz /path/to/file.rb
