Well, in case of digest.so, I'm not suggesting implementing MD5 algorithm in Ruby (which would be slooow), but implementing the wrapper around .NET classes in System.Security.Cryptography in Ruby instead of C#. Performance impact would be negligible. -- Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
