RubyConf has been fun, sleepy (got in late, woke up early, still on
east coast time, but great fun =) Obie has been doing good
presentation-by-presentation coverage, so I'll let him cover that.
;-)
SASADA Koichi is a fantastic presenter, and seeing how he is
designing YARV was very
interesting. I just wish I'd had more sleep. I need to dig through
his presentation and try to remember some more C. I agree with him
about block syntax in Ruby 2.0 =)
JRuby's progress is really interesting, the fact that it is being
modeled on CISC and will be stackless via CPS is really cool. JRuby
is definately alive and kicking.
On the flight and in some downtime today I've been beating on the
ruby stomp client as well. Finally got a grip and started doing it
right -- most of the old code has been thrown away and am doing it
properly TDD this time. Basic client exists (it is that easy), but
am still working on a better rubyomatic api.
