Chris Seaton, the creator of TruffleRuby, has died
Chris Seaton, the creator of TruffleRuby has died. It appears from suicide ![]()
He left this note on Twitter on the weekend:
And one of his friends/co-workers posted this yesterday:

I hope that when they feel up to it the friends he said were supportive of him through his issues might share some of the background, in case it’s something that might be able to help others (or help others look out for in others) in future…
