It does sound interesting although they are working on 1.8.2.

Sounds like a very interesting academic research project. I don''t think it''s feasable though in the real world... I don''t see Microsoft pushing this over C# or VB.Net... and most Ruby devs I know wouldn''t touch .Net. It''s still cool though. It would be more interesting if they could make Ruby run faster under Windows :) On 8/1/06, Adrian Madrid <aemadrid@gmail.com> wrote:> > It does sound interesting although they are working on 1.8.2. > > AEM > > On 8/1/06, Nathan Leach <nleach@toplineconsulting.com> wrote: > > > http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1996960,00.asp?kc=EWEAUEMNL080106EOAD > > > > Just saw this and thought it was interesting... > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Rails mailing list > > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails > > > > > -- > Adrian Esteban Madrid > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

David Simmons, Smalltalker and dynamic language speed guru*, was recently interviewed in Bitwise magazine, where he talked a little about the challenges of putting dynamic languages on the CLR: http://www.bitwisemag.com/2/S-Smalltalk-The-Next-Generation He also talks a little about Ruby and complexity. -faisal -* and, in my case, friend and former boss. which is not to say i always agree with him, but hey, disclosure.

Even if this subset of classes were unmodifiable in a meta-programming sense, it would be great to be able to do so. Nic -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
