Can Jekyll run on MagLev?


MagLev tries to be compatible with ruby 1.8.7

So it seems to me that Jekyll should be able to run on it...

And based on this previous question, seems that even some rails applications can run on it...

TIA


Solution

  • I just tried Jekyll on Maglev's 1.9 branch, and it doesn't work. Maglev falls down when using anything with C extensions; in this case, it's Jekyll's dependency on posix-spawn.

    You might wanna check out the docs regarding the state of C extensions on Maglev.

    AFAIK, Jekyll doesn't really have persistence (besides static files), so I'm not sure what you'd gain from using Maglev. You can definitely have a lot of fun with Maglev and Sinatra, give them a shot.
