Re: [PhillyOnRails] "Ruby for microcontrollers" a short list...

["Mark Chadwick" <mark.chadwick@gmail.com>]

Another interesting project:

http://rad.rubyforge.org/

You might want to poke around that code, as it's taking a small Ruby DSL, and translating it to C/C++ for the controller.

That said, I'm not sure of the real value of shoehorning Ruby on a microcontroller.  C isn't exactly the plague.  If there was ever a "time and place" for C code, it seems like it couldn't be too far from this.
(Should I duck?)

Anyone else screwing around with Arduino boards?

About all I could find with this fellow:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/65582

He worked in '03 with various microcontrollers in an
industry
setting, and used Ruby, as he describes in "high
level"
at URL above.  He's outlined three straightforward
methodologies.

His last was precisely what I had in mind, (C-TRAN
paradigm, only using Ruby to generate the C) so
there's "nothing
new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes) :-)
