I disagree. I think DLR is a non-problem. Reality check: do you have any change in your mind you would like to make to DLR? For example, (sorry for using CPython as an example; I am not familiar with Ruby world) many people contributes to CPython runtime without touching CPython's custom memory allocator. Still many people contributes to CPython standard library and C extensions without touching CPython runtime. -- Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
