Subject: Re: Ruby interpreter on the iPad

I have an Android phone so I can't speak authoritatively, but my 
understanding was that you couldn't distribute any application for 
iPhone/iPad which would interpret code.

However, there was recently an off-topic post here where someone said 
they had made a Scheme interpreter available through the App Store:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/1743573

Warning: since you have to pay them 99c to test their claim, it could 
just be a scam.

Otherwise, your best bet might be one of the experimental Ruby 
interpreters written in Javascript. Or you could try this:

http://bellard.org/jslinux/tech.html
I'd be interested to know how long it takes to boot on an iPad :-)

An Android pad wouldn't have this issue. "Rubuto" is full jRuby for 
Android, and is available for free from the Android marketplace.

Regards,

Brian.
