Mruby: Ruby for Embedded Systems

moth-fuzz 12/27/2025||

I love Ruby and have tried to use mruby several times, but the one thing that always becomes an issue is that it uses Ruby’s own native-extension build system for compilation, which is configured in Ruby itself. It makes it a total pain to include in other build systems, or when compiling to other targets (i.e. WASM)

Frankly, I love Ruby as a language, but if it were as easy to embed as Lua I would have no reason to use Lua.

Let's call it Murby :)

I think the name mruby kind of makes sense; we have MRI (matz ruby implementation) so the leading "M" there; we have jruby too. We also have truffleruby which is a bit against that name scheme ... but we could call it truby. Nobody does that, but we could. And MRI could also be called c-ruby. These are not great names though. Murby is also not a great name; it reminds me of Murphy from Robocop though.
