Squeak-like Ruby env

I’m in. I live object system with a refactoring browser would be really
great in ruby, and with opengl on the back end from the start we could
quickly improve on the teddy bear look & feel of squeak.

This could be a perfect candidate for the google summer of code projects
from ruby central… I’m applying as a student, but someone out there
should send it in as a mentor!

I could apply as student for something like this as well, maybe for
the renderer and cool look-n-feel -side of things :slight_smile:

I’m not yet at the stage where it is time to set down the spec… :wink:

In the context of the second link it looks like you want something
like persistent irb with a fancier editor.

If you want Squeak’s Ruby written in Ruby with a cool editor and
persistent everything so you can change it all then help out with
Metaruby.

I guess here I was more meaning Squeak-like in the form of Morphic
(Squeak GUI widgets) in Ruby with a OpenGL backend but other parts of
Squeak may apply.

When it comes to implementing Ruby itself I am interested in that and
try to follow your progress from time to time (I find it a bit
confusing with the name MetaRuby though since Matju used that way back
in 2000-2002? Or are you reusing code/ideas?). I haven’t realized your
are also interested in the IDE side of things. Will check.

Ah, ok.

Matju’s Metaruby has different goals and has been dead for over 3 years:

I’m not interested in an IDE, I was just curious what you meant due
to the two different contexts.
