Ruby API #1983

Closed arjunmenon closed 6 years ago

arjunmenon commented 6 years ago

Hey

  1. Is there a support planned for interfacing with Ruby? It would be good.

  2. Can you tell good starting point to to add Ruby support?

Hi @arjunmenon. No plan for Ruby support at this point, but you could likely look at wrapping the C++ API. We use pybind11 on the Python side, but ultimately you would need to create an extension like

Another alternative is to run Caffe2 as a service and have your Ruby code contact that service (running in Python), but it depends on what you want to do. Hope that helps.
