Re: Ruby's Future

From: Sean Middleditch <elanthis@...>
Date: 2002-02-23 04:36:12 UTC
List: ruby-talk #34598
I've only got two of the three, only one of which is still functional
(other left off in the middle of extensive hacking, and doesn't come
close to compiling, and I have no intention of attempting to fix or
recent the changes).  An older version of that *should* have been posted
(a link, anyways) to this list.

My last attempt I'll post on-line.  It has a number of draw-backs,
mostly from its use of recursive function calls to execute the byte code
- this made it not only rather slow, but impossible to freeze the
execution.  It also doesn't have OO at all, nor a usable standard
library.  OO would be somewhat straight forward to add.  Things like
hashes and so on that aren't a language necessity (i.e. can be easily
coded in the language itself) aren't part of the language - that is what
made the language so small and fast.  It's like RISC vs. CISC CPU's. 
~,^  The URL for that (last updated in November)
http://www.awesomeplay.com/personal/elanthis/scripts-0.0-20011108.tar.gz
Looking thru it, you may see an idea or two taken from Ruby.  ~,^

I'm starting up a *new* language (tentatively called mudparse, for use
with AweMUD and other MUD engines - anyone interested in helping me get
it right is free to contact me about it) that is designed *solely* for
use in games and MUD's, which means I'm not going to try to build
general programming features into it (which is what killed my last
attempts).

That freezing issue is actually the one that I've yet to actually
complete.  I keep trying to avoid memory usage, and trying to use
short-cuts that make the freezing impossible.  My next attempt will
worry about functionality first, then optimizing *last*.  Maybe I'll
actually succeed then.  ^,^

You might also take a look at some of the embeddable LISP interpreters
out there.  I found a couple (no, I don't recall their names) that were
freezable/threadable from a controlling process, but like I said - I'm
not forcing LISP on anyone.  That is solely a science/geek language. 
~,^
