Hi,

NETRuby (or NOTRuby, because it's not Ruby :-)) is maintenanced
by Arton-san. He is also the author of ActiveScriptRuby.

OK, it's very-rough and partly translation of NETRuby page information.

More information, you should mail to him (his address is in
ActiveScriptRuby's page).

= STILL Ruuubbish

First of all, implement compilar. After that, add functions of interpreter
(But we cannot use instance_eval in this way...?)

== Now you can use:

  * top level script
  * if else end
  * &&
  * puts
  * require .NET objects
  * constructor of .NET objects
  * method call for .NET objects
  * constants
  * toplevel local variables
  * =
  * == (only Equal)
  * to_s
  * to_i
  * to_l (added for type checking)
  * +,-,*,/ arithmetic for Int32/Int64
  * use ArrayList as Array
  * while
  * until
  * [],  []=
  * getter/setter of accessor(instance variable)
  * toplevel method
  * require typesystem
  * to_t (for getting type)

== How to use

NETRuby is a compiler. So, you type:

  netruby foobar.rb

and you get foobar.exe. Then, of course, execute it.

== TODO

 * Class
 * Range
 * Module (and Mix-in)
 * Object-delivate class
 * make dll

== Files

 * NetRuby.cs : compilar. Scope object manages local variable and
                block variable.
 * Parser.cs  :  parser.
 * Node.cs : parsed tree.
 * Kernel.cs : runtime library. it includes dynamic method calling
               and type system interface.
 * Numeric.cs : runtime for Fixnum

== How to (Re-)Distribute

Don't re-distribute in executable form. Assemeble code is as-is.
NetRuby itself will be LGPL someday.

== NO WARRANTIES

Hope this helps.
