I just assumed (<== error right there) that
scope.SetVariable("the_var", "the value");
did the same under the covers as
the_var = "the value"
so that it would be a real globally scoped variable, this probably makes
more sense once you know how it works. This is also perfect timing for a
call-out in this particular chapter :) Tomas says...
But I've been caught out a few times now, I think I just need to take some
time to look into the internals of IronRuby again, because I can figure this
sort of stuff out by looking at the source code.
I have no bright ideas at this point, I rarely do.
