Helix

Helix allows you to write Ruby classes in Rust without having to write the glue code yourself.

ruby! {
    class Console {
        def log(string: String) {
            println!("LOG: {}", string);
        }
    }
}
$ rake build
$ bundle exec irb
>> require "console"
>> Console.log("I'm in your Rust")
LOG: I'm in your Rust
 => nil

Contributing

If you'd like to experiment with Helix, you can start with some of the examples in this repository.

Clone and download the Helix repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/tildeio/helix
$ cd helix

Navigate to the console example folder and bundle your Gemfile:

$ cd examples/console
$ bundle install

Run rake irb to build and start irb:

$ bundle exec rake irb

Try running some of the methods defined in examples/console/src/lib.rs:

> c = Console.new
Console { helix: VALUE(0x7fdacc19a6a0) }
 =>
> c.hello
hello
 => nil
> c.loglog('hello', 'world')
hello world
 => nil
