Sneaking Ruby Through Google App Engine (and Other Strictly Python Places)
- fdb 19y agoIsn't this what Parrot (http://www.parrotcode.org/ http://www.parrotcode.org/) set out to do? Any idea how that project is coming along?

- sah 19y agoThis is neat. A complete Ruby-to-pyc compiler might be a faster implementation of Ruby than the original one.
- bprater 19y agoThat _why_the_lucky_ guy sure is a bright one.
- jmtulloss 19y agoPython and Ruby are not so different that I really see the purpose of this. Compiling Python and/or Ruby to the Java or .NET runtime has clear benefits, but what is the benefit of this?
- mlinsey 19y agoThe main benefit, aside from that it's sort of cool, is that you would be able to write for Google App Engine in Ruby. Personally, I think that the similarities between Python and Ruby (particularly their bytecode similarities) makes Ruby the most obvious language to be added to GAE next; but there isn't anything quite as easy as GAE for getting your Ruby app off the ground right now.

- hwork 19y agowhy_ is really one of those dudes who needs to be funded by the community to work full-time on his awesome, wild projects. He is le-git.
