From: "trans (Thomas Sawyer)" Date: 2012-12-18T03:59:39+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:50950] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7549] A Ruby Design Process Issue #7549 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer). =begin @headius @naruse Regardless of what might be thought of my idea, at least this much should be clear. Directly from the Rubinius home page: ((*"A large aspect of popular languages such as C and Java is that the majority of the functionality available to the programmer is written in the language itself. Rubinius has the goal of adding Ruby to that list. Rubyists could more easily add features to the language, fix bugs, and learn how the language works. Wherever possible Rubinius is written in Ruby. Where not possible (yet), it's C++."*)) And... ((*"The Rubinius bytecode virtual machine is written in C++, incorporating LLVM to compile bytecode to machine code at runtime. The bytecode compiler and vast majority of the core classes are written in pure Ruby."*)) =end ---------------------------------------- Feature #7549: A Ruby Design Process https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7549#change-34807 Author: brixen (Brian Ford) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Matz, At RubyConf 2012, I gave a talk about a design process for Ruby (http://www.confreaks.com/videos/1278-rubyconf2012-toward-a-design-for-ruby). So far, over 12,000 people have viewed that talk. I think it is reasonable to say that many people are concerned about and interested in a design process for Ruby. On Monday, we had an IRC meeting of Ruby implementers. Most of the points in my proposal were discussed but I'm concerned that a lot of confusion remains. I have written a post that describes a Ruby design process and hopefully clarifies points that people found confusing: http://brixen.io/2012/12/11/a-ruby-design-process I would like to propose this process for making changes to Ruby. I am going to put a summary of the process at http://rubyspec.org/design and ask for people who support the process to submit their signature. I'd like to request that you consider the response from the community for my proposal. Thank you, Brian -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
