Inspired by hearing so much about Ruby lately, I took the time to learn a bit of Ruby. Of course, as a core Mace developer, my first thought of what I could do with Ruby was to write an application that talked to a Mace application! I’ve written up an example which is now available in the Mace documentation (http://www.macesystems.org/wiki/documentation:rubypingpong) that illustrates using Ruby to talk to a simple Mace application, and through it illustrates a bit of the Mace networking and wire protocol.
Is there interest in greater support or documentation for Ruby (or other language) in a Mace environment?
I would love, love, love Ruby support in Mace!
So what would Ruby support mean to you? If it would help with the Mace appeal, I’m willing to put some effort into it potentially—so what would you specifically like?
