We should use mruby-cli or traveling-ruby to build native command-line binaries for multiple systems.

Oh great, I was looking for something like that thank you. There is http://crystal-lang.org too

ruby-packer seems to be another interesting option 🤔

Actually:

  • mruby-cli doesn't support gems, but mgems (and I'm not sure that we'd find all the dependencies we need and how well maintained they are... thor is not available, for instance)
  • travelling-ruby seems to have some caveats with native extensions and Windows support (also, I'm not sure it's still maintained)
  • Crystal is not 100% compatible with Ruby, so it would probably require quite some work to rewrite everything (not to mention learning a new language and tool-chain I'm 0% familiar with 😱)

So ruby-packer might be our best contender so far 📦
