Re: [tcljava-user] State of SWANK for TCL and Ruby

[Bruce J. <nm...@ma...>]

Hi Maurice,

Thanks for the interest in Swank.  It is still very much alive.  I =20
work on it  a lot, but am so busy with trying to keep my one person =20
company afloat that I haven't had  much time to keep up the public =20
distributions.  I am planning on releasing the latest code shortly =20
(within a week).

I've  had another person ask about JRuby and Swank.  I've never =20
looked at JRuby code to see how much trouble it would be to port.  =20
I'm guessing it depends a bit on whether there is something like the =20
Tcl Interp class that can be used for variables and exceptions.  A =20
lot of the Swank code is automatically generated using a Jacl script =20
so it might be possible to change these scripts a bit to generate =20
code that would be a lot closer to what JRuby needs.

On the other hand, why not use  Jacl?

I'll let you know as soon as I release the next version.

cheers,

Bruce
