Huh, what exactly doesn't work? Their own readme says "TruffleRuby runs Rails and is compatible with many gems, including C extensions." (https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby)

View on HN

Truffle:

  TruffleRuby is not 100% compatible with MRI 3.2 yet

Rails:

  Rails 8 will require Ruby 3.2.0 or newer

https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby

https://rubyonrails.org/2024/9/27/this-week-in-rails

That doesn't mean Rails won't run on TruffleRuby. TruffleRuby may not implement 100% of MRI 3.2, but that doesn't mean it doesn't implement all the parts that Rails needs.

Is it possible that those two statements taken together means truffleruby can run rails 8?
