OpenBSD has ncurses and it's own ocurses, and I prefer the latter.

Ruby compiles the source into syntax tree internally, like Perl.  But
it does not provide the way to output the tree into file.

Python can execute compiled files as cache, but Ruby is much faster
than Python without compiling cache.  Ruby's parser runs quite fast.
So, I don't think it's not much useful for acceleration.

OTOH, I agree scrambling source is useful for some cases.  Anyway,
Python like freezing (bundle everything in a executable file) is on my
ToDo list.  It can be used to HIDE source, even through de-scrambling
is pretty easy.

Could you please remove `reply-to' from your mail?  I almost sent my
mail to you directly, not to the list.
