Nokogiri, Loofah and Crass now compile to native code with Spinel, Matz's Ruby-to-C compiler. Same requires, same APIs, no Rails. An HTML sanitizer becomes a 2–3 MB binary that runs in 5–9 ms, byte-identical to the gems on their own test inputs. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/09...

I'd love to see this integrated with the ruby runtime. It would be amazingly cool with we could add a magic comment and have a file compiled in. Maybe available as a ractor. I think there was Crystal project to do something like that.
