TruffleRuby 24.1.0

TruffleRuby is a high-performance implementation of the Ruby programming language.
TruffleRuby aims to be fully compatible with the standard implementation of Ruby, MRI.
More information is available on the website: http://www.graalvm.org/ruby/
TruffleRuby comes in two standalone modes, native and jvm, for both Oracle GraalVM and Community Edition.
See the documentation for which release asset corresponds to what.
