Hi all, I am a C programmer that is beginning to see the network capaibilities of Ruby. I am interested in creating a chat application that uses Ruby. I am a little confused with the distribution of Ruby, though. Is Ruby strictly scripting? Or can I distribute binaries? The time may come when I may not want peopel to see my code and simply distribute binaries. Also, the user may not have Ruby installed and bundling Ruby with the software would bulk it up a lot. If anyone could help me understand how Ruby works in terms of distribution/binaries it would be greatly appreciated. Jonathan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
