=====

|
Some things that would be nice . . (if you did them :-) )
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
- utf8 support (string improvements generally)
|
|
- SOF writer / parser
|
|
- more ruby grammar niceties. At the moment i am keeping it simple, so if there is a way around it
|
|
i won't implement it. Multi-assignments, all that chique where newline is used as expression demarcation
|
|
|
|
Or the list of things i am not even planning of tackling at the moment
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Trying to get mainstream acknowledgement/acceptence is not fun, it's hard work and should be undertaken by
|
|
someone with funding.
|
|
|
|
I hope to get the multi-machine architecture done at some point as i also want to port to Arduino
|
|
|
|
Also i am starting to think an (register machine) interpreter would be a good idea for debugging.
|
|
|
|
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 addmittadly.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, as i want to use gpio mostly the whole c wrapping is not too high on the list.
|
|
|
|
My first approach would be to monkey patch any gems where they dip into things we don't have.
|
|
Or copy/port them to a smaller version.
