Jason van Zyl: hey there, you found the channel
<headius>
assuming you mean GraalVM Native Image, the experiments are on hold but I was able to POC some changes to JRuby to let it start up, parse code, and run in a native binary
<headius>
it only runs interpreted because there's no way to load new bytecode into a native image, but it should be natural to extend the POC to precompile all Ruby code into the image

re: your questions about maven and Christian... I believe he is still around but after so many years we are largely fending for ourselves. I fear the day when we have a critical problem with the release artifact builds and can't get any help untangling the mess we have right now
<headius>
there are also many support plugins based on JRuby that have needed attention, such as updating to a newer version of JRuby, and those updates have not happened and we do not have push rights for those artifacts
