A wonderful, awful idea: ruby in the browser - Christopher Nelson

Language: English Quality: High Has Audio: true Source: confreaks Media: Flash Posted On: 08 Feb 09

This talk is about the many paths towards getting ruby running in your web browser. I'll first talk about why this is even a good idea. I'll then talk briefly about each approach I've investigated and the differing amounts of FAIL I encountered with each. Next I'll focus on the most promising contender, rubyjs, a ruby compiler which outputs javascript. I'll demonstrate how you can begin using it in your application today with lots of code and live demos.
