Well I ask again. On what platforms are you using ruby most of the
time?

Thanks

Linux.

Maybe this would be a question best posed as a poll on RubyGarden.org
(come to think of it, hasn’t it been asked there before?)

Linux exclusively. There is no way I would run windows without someone
forcing me. This is the upside of being unemployed.

Outch, sorry, for asking. I did not know that it was asked before …

Those three most of the time, eh? And where do you run it the rest? :slight_smile:

I run Ruby on Debian GNU/Linux and Gentoo Linux.

Once in a while at work I go into irb in a Windows 2000 shell or test
something I’ve written to see how it looks in Windows (although I don’t
know how well I’ll be able to do that now that I’m switching from working
in Tk to gtk2).

chuckles Thanks Gavin, it seems I need to learn to open my eyes.

I do have the same script running under mingw32 & cygwin at the mo as a
test, so time is evenly split betweem them when it comes to running Ruby :slight_smile:

Just this past week here, Rob Wehrli (of Arizona Cooperative Power) just
gave a talk on uCLinux (micro-controller Linux) for embedded Hitachi
boards. I signed up to get one of the promotional boards they were
giving away. I’m thinking that Ruby would be a cool language to embed
on that board. Just think … Ruby running on an embedded computer.
What cool things could come from that?

Strangley enough Gavin, earlier today I recieved a CD of Commodore 64
music done as Rock.

Its by a band called “Press Play On Tape”
(http://www.pressplayontape.com), they’ve put together an album called
“Loading, Read, Run” which features 14 classic tunes that have been
reworked as rock tracks.

Its strange and cool, my favorite at the moment is Thing On A String
originally by Rob Hubbard. Other tracks include Ramon: First Blood Part
II, Ghosts n’ Goblins, Wizardry, Monty on the Run.

I could put up a few of the tracks for anyone interested.

Wow, my first computer exposure was programming BASIC on a Commodore
64. Did you ever use it also? It think it was pretty cool back then (of
course, before Apple took over…)

Hi Jim,

Depending on the power of that embedded board, I am not sure if you can
run the current Ruby version on that board. Just like Java has the J2ME
(Micro Edition), probably you need to tweak Ruby a lot to be able to run
it on an embedded system. If you really want to have a scripting language
running on an embedded system, my guess is your best bet for now is
probably to use Lua.

Regards,

Bill
