Compile Ruby to C is a tool that translates Ruby code into C programming language. It's designed for developers who want to improve performance or integrate Ruby projects with C-based systems.

Talanoa▲343Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
