I have high hopes for Duby becoming a viable alternative to javac! Since it uses the native typesystem and doesn't require a runtime, it is 'just' a Ruby-like syntax for writing code for the JVM.
- csmeder 17y agoA lot of people are jumping on board to use Clujure, yet it doesn't use the native typesystem and does require a runtime? (I know little about clojure, I'm just guessing here, please correct me if I'm wrong.) So why would people not jump on board with using a Ruby that sat on top of the JVM with non native typesystem and requires the run time?
