Subject: [ruby-talk:15071] bytecode compilation

Hi folks,

I come from a Python (and later, Perl) background and decided
yesterday that I would learn Ruby in the next two months. As I
understood so far, Ruby does not do bytecode compilation, am I
right? Is this coming/planned/whatever? Sometimes I just want my
source code file hidden/obscured, for fancyness and packaging.
Is there a way to do this in Ruby.

Btw, statements that have value in Ruby is one thing I prefer
over Python's.

Regards,
Steve
