Ruby|Sam|greeneggsandsamuel@gmail.com|1212530121|sammyiam|xx|0|128.195.18.91|I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge on existing Ruby RS-interpreters, or if any projects are in the works.||||
Re: Ruby|Casey|casey@cuvou.net|1212536750|Kirsle|xx|0|72.37.252.206|As far as I know there are only interpreters written in Perl so far. I personally don't know Ruby so I can't help you out with that. You could try making one yourself though and tell me how easy the working draft is to follow (it was designed to be implementation independent so interpreters could be made for other languages).||||
Re: Ruby|Sam|greeneggsandsamuel@gmail.com|1212804048|sammyiam|xx|0|68.4.38.204|Hmm, I'm hesitant to implement straight from the working draft since although I could probably eventually make it work, I doubt it would be as clean or efficient as the current Perl implementation (my coding skills are okay, but not great).<br /><br />I may instead work on making an interface/API for the Perl interpreter that I can query from Ruby, and slowly re-write the Perl code in Ruby by looking through the source files.<br /><br />It's finals week coming up, but if I'm still feeling motivated to look at this, maybe I'll try it soon.<br /><br /><br />Also, at least as much as I glanced through, the working draft is really well laid out. &nbsp;The implementation details are sparse, which I'm assuming is by design since this allows the language and context to guide the actual implementation. &nbsp;Unfortunately for those of us with less knowledge of coding, it makes starting from scratch a little tough. ||||
