# rubys/roundhouse

> A compiler that reads Ruby source of Rails applications and transpiles them into standalone projects in Rust, Go, TypeScript, Crystal, Elixir, Kotlin, Swift, Python, C#, or Ruby, and compiles to a native binary via Spinel. The target language is a build flag, not a runtime choice.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
