ToDo
Some things that would be nice . .
- Better elf support. I think it should be relatively easy to produce an executable binary (so linking could be skipped). Off course the possibility to link in another library would be nice
- better elf tests
- better arm coverage (more instructions, better tests)
- utf8 support (string improvements generally)
Platforms
x86 is up for grabs. I have intentionally started on arm (the most sold cpu) because i do this for fun. And my pi is fun.
There is a ruby intel assembler called wilson out there. Or then there is Metasm, with good support for many other cpu's (and a lot more code)
Compliance
Is admittedly a little more fun, but also not really my goal in the near future.
If i am really honest about this, i think ruby is a little quirky around the edges and i think a lot of that can/should be done as a compatibility layer. Keeping the core clean (and shiny).
Stdlib
Stdlib is not clean. More like a layer that accumulated over the years.
Very nice solutions exist for most of the important things. Like celluloid for concurrency. Celluloid-io for good performance io with or without zero-mq. Fiddle looks nice admittedly.
Interesting
Solving concurrency is up for grabs. Any solution is a start, channels ala go are nice and lock free stuff is the ultimate goal.
