Starting Boost.Ruby: Questions / Comments

Hey all, So after many hours of research, attempts at wrapping up code with SWIG and what not, I've decided to attempt taking the ideas from Boost.Python and luabind and make a Ruby version. I know about the Langbinding project, but as there is very little there, details are scarce and I haven't received a response for a post I made there, I'm going to go my own way. When (if) Langbinding picks up again I'll definitely look at offering help to building a Ruby backend, but until then I might as well just build Boost.Ruby to learn what's needed. That said, is there anyone here who's started a similar project, or knows of one? I've done searching through this list, and through the general web and have found nothing. This will be my first time really using Boost and I look forward to both learning about and hopefully contributing to this excellent library. Also, if there is any recommended reading, or lessons learned that I should read (that isn't easily accessible through Boost documentation), I'd also appreciate that. Jason Roelofs

http://cpptcl.sourceforge.net/ This project was inspired by Boost.Python, but implemented separately.

Definitely you should know the API of the target interpreter and the specifics of the target language. In the case of Tcl these specifics justified a separate implementation. Since C++/Tcl is not part of Boost, please don't hesitate to contact me directly in case of any questions. Regards, -- Maciej Sobczak * www.msobczak.com * www.inspirel.com

I think this is worth mentionning: http://metaeditor.sourceforge.net/embed/
