"modulo" in this sense means "excluding" -- that we're not considering the item. Continuations are described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation. Implementing continuations on top of the CLR would be pretty challenging, and (as I understand it) they're not widely used in the Ruby community.

I've never heard that term. I've done very little ruby work but am interested in the topic. I did a quick google and only things related to iron ruby came back when I entered modulo continuations.

There are some Ruby 1.9 features which we have designed IronRuby to support in future versions. This will eventually happen, but 1.8.6 compat will need to happen first. > -----Original Message----- > From: > ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org<mailto:ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org> > [mailto:ironruby-core-<mailto:ironruby-core-> > boun...@rubyforge.org<mailto:boun...@rubyforge.org>] On Behalf Of Orion > Edwards > Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 3:52 PM > To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> > Subject: [Ironruby-core] Ruby 1.9.1 stable released > > The goalposts just got moved... > > http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2009/01/30/ruby-1-9-1-released/ > > Apologies if this is old news. > > This begs the question, is IronRuby eventually going to target 1.9? > Any ideas on when or if this might happen? > _______________________________________________ > Ironruby-core mailing list > Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
