wilson version 1.0.0 has been released!

- [http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb](http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb)

Wilson is a pure ruby x86 assembler. No, really. Worst Idea Evar.

Why “wilson”? I wanted to name it “metal”, but there is an existing  
project with that name… So I’m naming it after Wilson B., who  
is about as metal as you can get (and it is easier to spell than  
“bilkovich”, even tho that sounds more metal).

Changes:

### 1.0.0 / 2009-01-20

- 1 major enhancement

- [http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb](http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb)

Is this is thinly-veiled attempt to get me to contribute to this  
project?  
If so, it is going to work.

haha! since you obviously agree that writing inline x86 assembly in  
ruby is a good idea, YES. 😛
