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.
