From: Mike Stephens Date: 2009-06-04T17:49:34+09:00 Subject: Ruby Execution If you have a script with a lot of classes, does the interpreter read through and 'execute' each class even though they haven't yet been called? Similarly, if you 'require' other libraries, does the interpreter insert the code and execute it all, rather than if and when each class is first referenced? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
