Here is the list of Ruby related projects accepted for GSoC. It includes two very similar projects (seemingly the same project, really, but I''m not saying anything ;) ) using RSpec to build a spec suite for implementations of the Ruby language: http://code.google.com/soc/ruby/about.html I''m, personally, very excited about the implications of this. Thanks to all of you who use,

...s going to be PAINFULLY slow on MRI. That''s not the point :) I thought I''d try out writing out a Ruby version of the parser for the purposes of Rubinius. For those of you who aren''t aware, Ragel supports a goto-driven FSM on Rubinius by injecting assembly directly, and Rubinus head honcho guy Evan Phoenix is working on a patch for Ragel to update it to the new compiler semantics. So really, there is a purpose for trying this out. Anyway, here''s my initial hack. It''s nasty, and presently jams the entire FSM into instance-specific data. Aieee! But it...

...sed for the following: 1. Verification of Code Working the way you expect it to. This is more fine grained, and better suited to Test::Unit, although the code can easily break after refactoring. 2. Documentation 3. Test-First development. What small piece do I implement next? (Think of the Rubinus/private methods example) 4. Defining Behaviour, which of course, is simply high level verification on exposed methods. Thoughts on these matters? Scott
