CORRUPTION kind of explained a lot :)
Hey, you're going the JRuby route? Are you using Swing and what-not to get rid of the platform specific code? How's it working out? I'll grab the source and see if there's anything I can help with. I don't get a lot of time away from my day-job while my children are so young, but as they grow up Hackety Hack is the sort of project I'd very much like to help out with.
- steveklabnik 13y agoWhen I first started hacking on Shoes, it took me 6 months to compile. o_O. We are going a few routes: 1) The first iteration will be JRuby + SWT. 2) It's written in a way that the DSL is separate from the backend, so that SWT can be swapped out for Swing or whatever. 3) Same with the Ruby: ideally, someday we can move back to an embedded MRI. It's working out pretty well so far, a lot of the example code runs. Due to my Shoes burnout, I'm playing semi-absent benevolent dictator for now. A great team of people is doing all of the actual work.
