One question, are there folks working on GTk implementations, especially Ruby ?? I have a pda concept called the ThinMan which went thru various incarnations. The basis is GNU released hardware designs, enough variety to weather any chip set crisis-- my first was the Cyrix MediaGX. Its failure cost me mucho $$ :( Ultimately the pda would be a receiver/emitter with its machine code locked into serialized complex structures, like a cross between perl's Data::Dumper structures and a tar-file. As folks would find they need machine code they would request it thru the ether and another ThinMan would respond and emit it to them. Upon receiving the modules, the "receiver" would then be available to emit the code. I would be much happier to see the objects emitted as text rather than bug-prone byte code. The machine code - the bulk of the transmissions - would have to be centrally emitted from a tradional servers w/ GCC cross compilers.
