I'm looking to write a javascript heavy clientside program with a something serverside backend that connects to the free maxima math program. I have extensive knowledge of ruby on rails, so I would prefer to call Maxima with ruby, but I don't know if this is even possible. Its fairly easy to call Maxima (with a lisp implementation) using ANSI C, it is a little less easy to implement using JAVA with a lisp implementation like Armed Bear, but I don't see any information about using Maxima with Ruby or Ruby on Rails.
Since Maxima as far as I can tell is the number one most powerful open-source math program, and RoR is my favorite open-source web framework, it would seem like a good fit. Has anyone implemented any math heavy applications with RoR, and can you give me any advice (anyone know if RoR and maxima is possible) ?? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
