Thomas and Charles, I've been bad and haven't been subscribed to your development mailing list (I'm the RDT developer) - but I ran into some archives with questions and patches flying around by the Swiss students doing refactoring work.
I had a few questions and comments. Have any of the patches that the students come up with made their way back into the trunk of JRuby? Beyond what I saw from them, I've run into some wishes as I worked on RDT that I filed away as TODOs (and hadn't gotten to). One of which was handling and returning the comments from the source. It's be really, really nice to have CommentNodes with the text of the comments.There's no way to get at them from the AST, and in the past it seemed to mess up positioning (by eating up newlines) of nodes after comment blocks where the line only contains a comment. Also, I noticed that strings are decomposed into a strange AST. Many strings get decomposed to something like StrNode -> DStrNode -> DStrNode - even for a simple single-quoted string. This email is mainly just to get in touch, get up to date and start the conversation so I can start working on trying to get a newer JRuby integrated for our next release.
