Subject: [ruby-talk:21217] ANN: ns_ruby-0.2.1

ns_ruby[0], the project to interpret Ruby code within Aolserver[1] has
reached version 0.2.1, which is a totally arbitrary way of saying it has
reached an initial state of useability.  There are thus far only 3 classes
of the several needed to expose the full power of nsd (Aolserver), they
handle Ns_Set (the collection class), Ns_Conn (the active HTTP
connection), and Ns_Db (interface to the DB connection pool).
Proceeding[2] in short order, I will expose the cache, templates, filters,
and URL-registered procs.



[0] The tarball for ns_ruby is at http://www.toddbrandlabs.com/code/.

[1] Aolserver, or nsd as the binary is called, is a GPL'ed threaded
    webserver that serves some of the busiest sites in the world.  It's
    fast; so fast, we don't have a suitable simile yet...
    An introduction to nsd can be found at
    http://www.arsdigita.com/asj/aolserver/introduction-1

[2] In the long term, well, the OpenACS guys have worked out calling
    methods written in Java or Python in Tcl -- we should get into some of
    that.
