3 programming videos worth watching

27 Nov 2016 - by 'Maurits van der Schee'

There are many conferences that publish their talks on YouTube, but not all talks are equally good.

C Ruby? C Ruby Go! Go Ruby Go!

Ever wanted to rewrite performance sensitive code as a native Ruby extension, but got stuck trying to navigate the depths of Ruby’s C API before you could get anything done? Or maybe you’re just not comfortable with C and want an easier path.

Do you know any Go? Well, if you do, you’re in luck! Join us for this talk about a tool named "gorb" that will quickly and easily let you generate native Ruby extension wrappers for your Go programs. And if you don’t know Go, come anyway, it’s really easy to learn! We’ll have you writing blazing fast code that you can use right from Ruby, in no time at all.
