From: Vinh Chuc Date: 2007-04-05T06:29:43+09:00 Subject: Re: Some General Questions about Ruby thanks ! @Chad Perrin when i said i was a beginner programmer i meant in the desktop softwares field ;), as so far i mainly coded in php, and maths algorithms with caml when i asked if it was possible to develop OS kernels/modules, i am aware that "i don't want to", as it would imply that the kernel includes the interpreter, that itself has a bunch of prerequisites but from a theorical point of view, is it possible ? ( can ruby deal with hardware access, memory management etc ... ) I have another question, about the WxRuby toolkit, i never used a gui toolkit before, but i guess it works like that : _ for a compiled program ( for example C/C++ ), the toolkit library, is either already installed on the end user computer, either it is "included" in the source code and compiled with it _ but for an interpreted language, how does it work ??? do the end user have to install a specific wxwidgets library ? or does wxruby provide a file that we have to bundle with the .rb files ???? thanks again -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
