[Arp] Ruby compiled to SWF

[Chris Ferrell]

Hi Aral,

I was just reading 
http://www.osflash.org/pipermail/osflash_osflash.org/2005-October/004386.html  and 
couldn't agree with you more.   Instead of YAPL, why not compile Ruby to 
SWF.  And even though I'm well aware of the reasons (intellisense stuff, 
bring in java programmers)), I'm not all that enthusiastic about 
actionscript 3.  Ruby on Rails and Ruby on Flash = ruby throughout the 
stack is an exciting concept - so much so that I've broke out some 
compiler books.  The code from MATSC or YARV (the new Ruby VM) and Ruby 
on Ruby could probably make this a reality in not too painful of a time 
frame (at least a subset of Ruby), kindof like what the XAMLON C# IL to 
SWF compiler.
