Dave Simmons of SmallScript fame wants to work on our system to produce ST80 bytecode from ruby.
A number of people want to improve RI, hacks, and PT, esp for windows. This will help us get more people using them.
John Lam is interested for his ruby/CLR bridge.
A number of people wanted to look at ruby2ruby to do refactoring tools.
Don Roberts/John Brandt are extending their current refactoring toolset to generate entire tool suites for other languages. We should bug them for ruby in a month or so.
Made some good business contacts. Mainly consultants like Russ (bay area pattern's group
2) Potential new projects/demos:
irb state saver (done, in 8 lines)
r2yarv / r2st80 bytecode translator
stock market toys/tools
good demo on how to write refactoring tools for ruby
fucking get over it and write a ruby parser/lexer, warts and all
