Hi Thomas,
Hope you are rested from your long vacation. As for the collaboration of
RubyDotNet development, up to this point, the collaboration has been merely a
sharing of code bases and developing some rudimentary documentation. Tim
Sutherland released his rubydotnet proxy code on this list and Ben and myself
have released our Ruby/.NET Bridge on www.saltypickle.com/rubydotnet.
That has been the extent of the collaboration -- more introductions than
anything. What do you suggest as a way to get off the ground here? Ben
Schroeder and myself are very interested in advancing our Ruby/.NET bridge more
and would welcome any help. I also would love to incorporate Tim Sutherland's
ideas, but I think being the fact there are two code bases being developed, this
could be the first sticking point for getting a collaboration off the ground.
As for what we've done with our Ruby/.NET bridge, we have release 2 coming out
this week that will include a Squeak Smalltalk interface to the bridge (really
slick!), floating point type conversion between Ruby and .NET, and a Ruby C
extension module that shows 3 - 4 times performance improvement over the TCP
socket edition of the bridge that we've developed up to this point. We do have
some threading issues to work out with the C extension that are presently being
handled correctly in the TCP sockets edition, but I think we will release
anyways.
Check out our site as to what we are thinking next for the project (our To Do
page). If any of those tasks sounds immediately interesting then let's chat more
-- we'd be curious as to where you'd want to take the bridge as well and how you
could assist.
Regards,
John
