There is YARV I think that makes bytecode and there is JRuby which at some point may create bytecode (Java), there is a a .NET project to allow ruby to compiled to bytecode. I think YARV is the Ruby 2 VM you are refering to.

Byte code interpreter, yes, compiler (something that outputs compiled ruby files), no.

I think by bytecode compiler he means something that compiles (ie. makes) bytecode. Its just mis-worded slightly… He said ruby 2 and that is supposed to support bytecode, were on 1.9 now, so not long to go 🙂 Eric H. wrote: > On May 22, 2006, at 2:29 PM, Kris L. wrote: > > > allow ruby to compiled to bytecode. > > > > I think YARV is the Ruby 2 VM you are refering to. > > Byte code interpreter, yes, compiler (something that outputs compiled > ruby files), no. > > PS: Don’t top post. > > – > Eric H. - removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid - [http://blog.segment7.net](http://blog.segment7.net) > > A: Yes > Q: Is top-posting bad? > � Derek Milhous Zumsteg ---

Derek Milhous Zumsteg What an incredibly elegant example. I love it. Although I personally will not adopt the jargon, but will still admonish others merely to not post the answer to somebody’s question before posting the quoted question. Mostly 'cause I probably won’t remember the term next time I need it. And yes, this is a 97% content-free posting, but I just couldn’t resist jumping up and down, pointing at the example, and going “ook! ook!”
