= duby
== DESCRIPTION:
Duby is a customizable programming language featuring static types,
local type inference and a heavily Ruby-inspired syntax. Duby
currently includes a typer/compiler backend for the JVM which can
output either JVM bytecode or Java source files.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
- Ruby syntax
- Compiles to .class or .java
- Fast as Java
== SYNOPSIS:
duby <script.duby>
duby -e “inline script”
dubyc <script.duby>
dubyc -e “inline script” # produces DashE.class
dubyc -java <script.duby>
dubyc -java -e “inline script” # produces DashE.java
== REQUIREMENTS:
- JRuby 1.5.0 or higher.
- BiteScript 0.0.5 or higher
== INSTALL:
If your “gem” command is the one from JRuby:
- gem install duby
Otherwise:
- jruby -S gem install duby
Only JRuby is supported at this time.
== For Java tools:
To build the Duby jars from source you should have a checkout of both
jruby and
bitescript in Duby’s parent directory. Run “ant jar-complete” in jruby,
then in
the duby directory “…/jruby/bin/jruby -S rake jar” to build the Duby
jar. Use
“jar:complete” instead to produce a free-standing jar file with JRuby
and the
JRubyParser libraries included.
