Ruby 2.6.0-preview1 Released

Ruby 2.6.0-preview1 is the first preview toward Ruby 2.6.0. This preview1 is released earlier than usual because it includes an important new feature, JIT. Ruby 2.6 introduces an initial implementation of JIT (Just-in-time) compiler. JIT compiler aims to improve performance of any Ruby program execution. Unlike ordinary JIT compilers for other languages, Ruby’s JIT compiler does JIT compilation in a unique way, which prints C code to a disk and spawns common C compiler process to generate native code.
