A little Ruby envy

Last week cruizer posted two entries that sparked my interest at looking into Ruby.

As a matter of coincidence, Object Mentor published an article that talks about implementing the visitor design pattern on Ruby, and why its implementation there makes for a better OO design than in Java.

I have to admit that cruizer’s enthusiasm rubbed off on me. I’m now very eager to see what the recently-announced IronRuby can offer.

    “I’m now very eager to see what the recently-announced IronRuby can offer.” — Currently, not much. Your much better off starting with the real deal.

    Wow! This is Chinese for me! ;-)
    Shame on me, I should hit the books again. Alas I don’t have a very logical mind! :-(

    Sidney,

    Hah, it’s all Chinese (or German, or French, or Bisaya!), but computers are ruling the world nowadays, so off we learn :)
