I meant I wanted to write a Ruby program based on Ruby's OOD resources to develop newer, modernized concepts from Ruby's OOD fundamental code. Sort of building a program which would be like a Rails framework, but only in the programming form of Ruby without Rails. I think Ruby alone can be made to be portable without the help of Rails. In a simple programmable format towards an application, the program would be a compilation of re-coding concepts to strengthen Ruby against thee Java brand. Why isn't there a Ruby platform for better object-oriented programming done in Ruby OOD? Why even do we need Java embedded into Ruby? I love the Java language, but as a passionate programmer who has created a few Ruby programs alone, this almost angers me a bit. I think Ruby is great the way it is and does not need to be merged with Java is my point. I dislike when programmers do that process of merging languages, if it does not create a whole new language, I mean, then what is the point? Portability between programmable software could still be met without borrowing coding from a completely different programming language, such as Java. I love Ruby too, and this again makes me a bit over-compassionate, disliking how Ruby's popularity has gone down in comparison to Java's. Ruby's fundamental coding can be re-coded to do all of this. I do not see the need for JRuby, unless people just want to abandon Ruby and program Java programs for the point being. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
