Re: Any current preprocessor/Ruby language add-ons?

From: "C. Dagnon" <c-soc-rubyforum@...>
Date: 2009-05-12 16:47:24 UTC
List: ruby-talk #336394
Thanks for those links - it is interesting to me that they wanted to 
start design by contract for Ruby in 2001 but never got anywhere.  Even 
their resources link to some DBC page instead forwards to buying one of 
their books (not about DBC).  And the RubyForge project is by all 
accounts empty and inactive though it was founded in 2007.

However the 2 articles you list last are definitely interesting.  The 
second one especially gives me several ideas to mull over.  Thank you!

Why not move to Eiffel?  Well if Eiffel is the only or best language 
using contracts I should be trying it if only to learn it's limitations. 
However I'd rather do incremental upgrades of all the existing 
Ruby/Rails products I've made than switch to a completely new language 
and web framework all at once.  I would also like to bring this new 
level of reliability to new companies and projects who have finally 
started taking Ruby seriously or are willing to use it on the JRuby or 
related platforms.  I've also never seen a job posting for Eiffel, but I 
haven't explored much.

I also love the dynamic abilities of Ruby, and I want to keep them. 
However I want to be sure the code does what I want it to without 
needing me to exercise all the code separately.  From the last article 
you gave, it sounds like Eiffel doesn't provide that feature - that the 
contracts are only enforced when the code is run, which would not meet 
my needs.  It seems like if the contracts are defined the 
compiler/preprocessor should be able to guarantee all (at least 
small-scale) code interactions without writing any tests.  Effectively 
swat all Unit and Functional tests without writing external, dependent 
code needing triggered updates.  Except if that could be done, someone 
would have already done it, right?

Which is partly why I was asking about other groups, meta-computer 
language groups in particular because I'm pretty fed up with limitations 
I've experienced in each of the existing languages I've tried.  But I'm 
not experienced with the vernacular enough to know what the N-axis(es?) 
are of possible language/environment features.  Wikipedia doesn't quite 
help either - their comparison has several useful points, yet doesn't 
quite compare their gestalts as I would like to.  Perhaps because they 
want it to fit in thin tables? 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming_languages

Lastly, I would love to see the assurance flexibility within the Ruby 
platform.  Sometimes you need a script (easy with any Ruby), sometimes 
you need a 20+ person team working on a complex application (I don't see 
this as possible without major, strict development practices).  The 
ability to tighten up an application from free-form script to 
(Eiffel-ness?) seems like a great growth vector for my usage patterns. 
We get both the immediate usefulness and the long-term maintainability.


Thank you for continuing the conversation!

-Chris
