From: "James F.Hranicky" Date: 2002-07-19T22:35:46+09:00 Subject: Objective C backend for Ruby? While people are kicking around ideas for new backends for Ruby, does anyone think that a backend could be written for Ruby that uses the Objective C (GnuStep, Cocoa) runtime libraries? Or even just a translator from Ruby to ObjC ? Seems that the languages are simliar in many respects, and it seems like ObjC, being a superset of C, would make a good backend if it's possible (threads, performance, etc). Just wondering. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jim Hranicky, Senior SysAdmin UF/CISE Department | | E314D CSE Building Phone (352) 392-1499 | | jfh@cise.ufl.edu http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~jfh | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
