I was reading the list back a few weeks here I noticed that someone is
making the distinction between 'compiled' ruby (Ruby.net) vs
interpreted ruby (IronRuby). What I would like to know is how are you
planning on dealing with the semantics of compiling ruby... like open
classes, method_missing, tricks like the interface switching library,
etc... the things that require actually rewriting the objects at
runtime. I'm guessing someone already has a solution worked out for
it, but is there somewhere you can point me to read up on this better
for myself? I think that many of the benefits of ruby are because it
is not compiled, and I was just trying to see if someone might speak
to that point. This is purely an academic question here, I'm not
asking anyone for any particular action, I'm just very curious.
