Tired of good old, but slow Ruby? Try one of Ruby's successors:
| Name | Compiles To | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal | Machine | Fast Ruby |
| Mirah | JVM | Fast Ruby in Java |
| Opal | JS | Ruby for JavaScript |
| CoffeeScript | JS | JavaScript for Rubyists |
| Elixir | BEAM | Ruby for Erlang |
| Scala | JVM | Multi-Paradigm Ruby |
| Rooby | Machine | Simple Ruby |
| Rubex | Machine | Ruby Extensions Ruby |
| Goby | Machine | Go meets Ruby |
All of them are better than Ruby, in some way!
