(Secure) Ruby to Solidity (Source-to-Source) Cross-Compiler Cheat Sheet / White Paper

ruby-talk
1

Hello,

  I've started a new white paper / cheat sheet on
  a (secure) ruby to solidity (source-to-source) cross-compiler [1].

  If anyone is interested in how to turn ruby into solidity (and
ethereum virtual machine (evm) bytecode) let us know!
  Question or comments welcome. Yes, the ruby-talk mailing list
  right here is the "official" sruby channel.

  Cheers. Prost.

PS: Here's a first example:

```

···

############################
# My Token Contract

# @sig (uint256) public
def setup( initial_supply )
  @balance_of = Mapping.of( Address => Money )
  @balance_of[ msg.sender] = initial_supply
end

# @sig (address, uint256) public returns (bool)
def transfer( to, value )
  assert @balance_of[ msg.sender ] >= value
  assert @balance_of[ to ] + value >= @balance_of[ to ]

  @balance_of[ msg.sender ] -= value
  @balance_of[ to ] += value

  true
end


gets cross-compiled to:

contract MyToken {
    mapping (address => uint256) public balanceOf;

    constructor( uint256 _initialSupply ) public {
        balanceOf[msg.sender] = _initialSupply;
    }

    function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) public returns (bool) {
        require(balanceOf[msg.sender] >= _value);
        require(balanceOf[_to] + _value >= balanceOf[_to]);

        balanceOf[msg.sender] -= _value;
        balanceOf[_to] += _value;

        return true;
    }
}
```

Note: For now there's no magic type inference for function signatures
- you MUST annotate all ruby functions.

Gerald,

This is very interesting - I have been lukewarm about learning solidity but this avenue might motivate me!

Regards,

Phil.

Hello,

  Thanks for your kind words. The "classic" starter guide for Solidity
is the CryptoZombies (free online) code school [1].

   Another (great) alternative language for Solidity with Python
3-Compatible Syntax :slight_smile: is the Vyper languague [2].

   For secure ruby (sruby) I'm trying to put together a (free online)
programming crypto contracts step-by-step guide / booklet [3]. You can
run all ruby contract samples with "standard" ruby (only requires the
universum library / gem - no test network needed - it's kind of a
simulator / emulator).

   Cheers. Prost.
