Executable file generated by exerb

Hi All,

I wonder the ruby source code can still be seen after the code compiled by exerb ?

Hi,

I wonder the ruby source code can still be seen after the code compiled
by exerb ?

Currently the source is visible inside the .exe...

There is speculation that exerb might be going to use
bruby to store the compiled AST data instead of the
textual source, sometime in the future. (I'm interested
in this too - so I need to join the exerb mailing list
and ask, I guess :slight_smile:

Some speculation at:

Regards,

Bill

Yes, you can see your code inside an EXE that was 'packaged' by exerb
(just open it in any text editor).

I say packaged - since it's not really 'compilation'... compilation to
_me_ means that it is transformed into a different type of file...
it's really just packaged.

The reason I use Exerb is so that I can distribute my applications and
call them an 'EXE'. It puts users at rest, and simplifies issues of
installing runtimes, version control etc.
