Ruby Weekly News

From: Dave@...
Date: 2002-08-26 09:15:45 UTC
List: ruby-talk #48170
   Ruby Weekly News: 08/26/2002

   A summary of activity on the ruby-talk mailing list, brought to you
   this week by Holden Glova.

   ANNOUNCEMENTS
   =============

   FXRuby-1.0.13
          Lyle Johnson has announced a new version of FXRuby. FXRuby is a
          set of Ruby GUI bindings for the FOX([1]) toolkit. Get
          FXRuby([2]).

   ZenWeb 2.12.0
          ZenWeb is a tool for building websites (not web pages). It
          applies a defined set of filters to files of content (often
          flat text or lightly marked up text (think wiki)) and created
          hierarchically navigable pages with a consistent theme and
          design. Get ZenWeb([3]).

   TCLink credit card processing extension
          Dan Helfman has implemented an extension to allow for credit
          card processing via the Trust-Commerce payment gateway. Get
          TCLink([4]).

   scanf for Ruby
          The Austin Ruby Code-fest for 2002 produced scanf for Ruby.
          This is a pure Ruby implementation of the C scanf(3) function.
          Get scanf for Ruby([5]).

   Ruby Windows Installer 1.6.7-3
          Andrew Hunt has released another version of the Ruby Windows
          Installer version. This version contains some new packages such
          as: REXML, MySQL, RubyMock, SWin, and VRuby. Get Ruby Windows
          Installer([6]).

   Amrita 0.8.5 and amx
          Taku Nakajima has released a new version of Amrita. Amrita is a
          html/xhtml template library for Ruby. This release contains a
          new experimental feature called "amx" - AMrita eXtension for
          XML. amx converts an XML document into an HTML document.

   INTERESTING THREADS
   ===================

   Embedding Ruby in C/C++
          Edward Wilson asked about the possibility of embedding Ruby in
          a C/C++ application. Paul Brannan responded by saying yes this
          is doable but there might be some issues([7]) to consider. Phil
          Tomson suggested a different mindset which involves exposing
          only a Ruby view onto the application. The Ruby view will
          manipulate C++ objects underneath.

   What makes a "good" Ruby extension?
          Tim Hunter asked what makes a good Ruby extension. If you are
          writing Ruby extensions this thread is worth a read to see what
          the community has come to expect.

   Puzzled by Range object?
          Do you think a Range object should be able to go from top to
          bottom? It sounds logical. Time Hunter discovered that this is
          not the case. Guy Decoux explained that a Range can only work
          up due to Range#each using #succ and it's difficult to define
          the inverse of #succ for any type.

   How to negate regexps in a case statement
          Ever wondered how to negate a regexp in a case statement?
          Reimer Behrends shows how([8]) for those interested.

   Win32 Scripting
          The question was asked about using Ruby for win32 OLE
          automation. The answer is "yes". You can use Ruby for win32
          scripting with the WIN32::OLE([9]) module in the RAA.

   Idiomatic write
          Searching and replacing text in files is a common task. So
          common that it is easily done from the command line. WATANABE
          Hirofumi illustrated that it can be easily done from the
          command line with something like ruby -i~ -pe 'gsub(/pattern/,
          "replace")' myfile . It should be noted that this will produce
          a magical temp file that Ruby will create and then delete for
          you after the replacements are done.

   Why Ruby Uses Mark-and-Sweep GC?
          A rather long thread was started asking why Ruby uses mark and
          sweep garbage collection. The question spawned a discussion
          around general GC principles and problems associated with them.
          A good read if this sort of problem interests you.

   Ruby and Judy
          Judy is a set of functions written in C libraries for creating
          and accessing dynamic arrays. Judy arrays are both speed and
          memory efficient. Talk was centered around the amazement that
          it could be done so fast. Lyle Johnson let the cat out of the
          bag in saying([10]) that he has been working on this already.

   IRC channel for Ruby
          It was asked if Ruby existed on IRC. I've seen Ruby channels on
          both DALnet and OPN (I'm sure there are others). I think the
          biggest channel is on the Open Projects Network in #ruby-lang
          on irc.openprojects.net . Come by and say hello to many great
          Ruby folk!

   OSX 10.2 ships with Ruby
          Luc Heinrich let us know that MacOS X (10.2 aka Jaguar) ships
          with Ruby 1.6.7.
