On: Convert Ruby to JavaScript

Just a note that this is three years old and somewhat outdated, but... it's still a pretty cool trick/idea, similar to the Ruby->PHP compiler mentioned here recently: http://www.ruby-php.org/

I'm not sure, though, that it's useful enough to "break through." judofyr mentioned Red ( http://github.com/jessesielaff/red ) as a more production ready Ruby-JavaScript tool but even that hasn't been updated in a year it seems :-(

Yes, I was quite surprised to see it being picked up after such a long time! It's just a quick implementation that I ran up in a lunch break one day.

If you want to see a better implementation of a Ruby to JavaScript compiler, have a look at http://www.ntecs.de/projects.html

If you're Paul, I just want to give you a virtual knighthood for your work with iplayer-dl - as I'm sure thousands of others would love to.

That's me. Thanks, I accept! Do I get a sash or a garter or something?
