The more I think about it, the more I think that newer JVM languages like scala and clojure *are* like compiled Ruby. They allow for REPL, yet are compiled. The only annoying thing about them is the extra startup time (also there in jruby, btw), and the fact that you have to add type information, but they may scratch your itch. -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
