From: Tapio Kelloniemi Date: 2002-09-24T03:38:37+09:00 Subject: Using Ruby with other languages Hi all I'm new to Ruby, but before seriously studying the language I would like to get some information. I would like to know, whether it is possible to compile Ruby code to executables so I could run Ruby code without the interpreter. I also would like to do this, when I noticed that a simple Ruby program runs more than 100 times slower than identically implemented C program. I also would like to know, wheter it is possible to compile RUby code to object format and then link with code written in different languages, EG. C++ and C. Thanks for all answers! -- Tapio
