2. I posted a sample of what static compilation to a "real live Java
class" might look like here: http://gist.github.com/37000. The idea is
that you'd decorate the class with a little extra Java information,
and then a compiler could create this Java class that exposes
everything a Java application would need to construct it as a normal
object. I think it could probably be written all in Ruby, without too
much difficulty. Thoughts?
While turning Ruby classes into real live Java classes is something that
I fully support (since I have to do a lot at the Java/Ruby border, and
making more porous makes things easier), how would this deal with
classes that had Ruby features with no direct Java equivalent?
method_missing is the one that immediately comes to mind.
