Write a UNIX shell that works under Winsucks and can be used as a full login shell under BSD/Linux/Unix -> I was toying with this awhile back but lost time to finish the basics. Also as 'just for funs' I would like to write a (semi-toy) operating system using Ruby and X86 Assembly / C (ISO/IEC 9899:1999). That takes POSIX into consideration but provides a Ruby focused design. For the simple reason that I would like to learn more about such things and I rather enjoy Ruby since I don't like having to deal with some things in C >> Do you see ruby as a focal-point or general purpose language? Ruby is very useful for just about any thing >> Has anyone worked with ruby along side c++ ? Only if you count using QT/C++ Documentation for wqorking with QTRuby. I generally use Ruby because I don't like C++ :-P >> How about ruby with a big, bad oo-database like Objectivity? Interesting idea...
