Carats
Website / Report Issue / Source Code
About
Carats are Facets written in C. This library is intended to be small and focused on a few areas where having widely useful extensions or additions to Ruby could greatly benefit from the speed boost and/or to access the underbelly of Ruby itself.
Carats is a work in progress and is currently looking for contributors. If you are a C and Ruby coder and would like to practice your craft a bit this a great project to contribute to since all the work is in very managable "bite-sized" pieces. Contributors are free to select from Facets as they like. Or even make a case for extensions that are not yet in Facets.
Bounties!
To encourge contribution, some bounties will be offered. These are small figure bounties, so don't expect to get rich off of them, but if a few greenbacks can help motivate, so much the better.
Check out the BOUNTIES page for recommended extensions and the rewards offered for their completion.
