Hi all, With the latest 1.8.6 release out today, I was wondering - what would you all think of a Windows-only fork of Ruby? I mean Perl has ActiveState, right? It ships with a slightly different interpreter and different libraries, so why not Ruby? Here''s what I''m thinking: * Win2k or later. No 95/98/ME support. No cygwin/mingw, either. * Assume VC++ 8. Use whatever

I''ve been working on a library called ruby-wmi, that is basically just an abstraction layer around wmi. I''m a windows sys admin, and I use wmi scripts a lot at work. My code looks like this: disks = WMI::Win32_LogicalDisk.find(:all, :conditions => {:drivetype => 5}) It''s supposed to mimic the active_record interface, and it works pretty well. My next thought
