Crate artichoke_core

artichoke-core

artichoke-core crate provides a set of traits that, when implemented, provide a complete Ruby interpreter.

artichoke-backend is one implementation of the artichoke-core traits.

Core APIs

artichoke-core contains traits for the core set of APIs an interpreter must implement. The traits in artichoke-core define:

• APIs a concrete VM must implement to support the Artichoke runtime and frontends.
• How to box polymorphic core types into Ruby Value.
• Interoperability between the VM backend and the Rust-implemented core.

Some of the core APIs a Ruby implementation must provide are evaluating code, converting Rust data structures to boxed Values on the interpreter heap, and interning Symbols.
