What is significance of this? When can I write Ruby as easily as JS/PHP?
- zitterbewegung 14y agoThis means that you can run ruby in the NaCL component of google chrome. It doesn't mean that the language syntax will change or make it "easily as JS/PHP"
- phamilton 14y agoYou already can write Ruby as easily as PHP (they are both server-side languages). What this means is that Ruby can be used as a client side language via NaCl, provided browsers support it.
- kennystone 14y agoProbably never as easily as JS in the client. You should look at CoffeeScript if you don't like JS syntax.
- azakai 14y agoYou can compile other languages than CoffeeScript to JS. C++, Java, C#, for example. Also, you can run Ruby in the browser right now by compiling its runtime (in a standards-compliant way without NaCl), http://repl.it/#:languages http://repl.it/#:languages
- VeejayRampay 14y agoOf course it will be just as easy eventually. Surely you don't think we'll be forced to use JS forever now do you? Coerce people into using a UNIQUE and LIMITING solution and they will find ways to use something else. The sooner the better.
