polecat

This is my attempt to build a search library like lucene in native ruby.

The idea formed, when I learned about the rubinius project and it’s ability to tune parts of the ruby code with it’s jit. It’s a bit sad for MRI, that more and more ruby code get’s converted to C, so it would be great, if rbx could be as performant as MRI, even if great parts of a application are written in ruby.

More updates are to come, when it is further progessing.

Contributing to polecat

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

  • Fork the project

  • Start a feature/bugfix branch

  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
