Make it clearer Opal is used on https://try.ruby-lang.org/ #122
Comments
I believe this is a severe problem, people think https://try.ruby-lang.org/ is Ruby (= standard Ruby = CRuby) but it's Opal and it's incompatible in many ways. Here is a real life example which wasted hours of work due to this: oracle/truffleruby#2905 (comment) I think the best way to change this is to default to CRuby, and barring that to make extremely clear it's Opal and not CRuby. |
#134 seems another clear reason why Opal shouldn't be the default. |
On https://try.ruby-lang.org/playground/ it is clear that Opal is the default, and one can choose CRuby.
But on the homepage, https://try.ruby-lang.org/ says nothing that Opal is used, and CRuby cannot be chosen.
This leads to confusion, e.g.:
I think the best would be for the homepage to also have the "engine selector" (Opal/CRuby), so the homepage would be like the Playground page (but still without the docs)
