[Mono-list] Making a ruby.net compiler

[Alan Knowles]

have a look through

http://devel.akbkhome.com/talks/phpdotnet/index.html (it's a talk I was 
supposed to give in amsterdam this week.. but got canceled..)
There are a few little mistakes, and I've missed a few links, but if you 
google on some of the topics mentioned you will get a good idea of the 
issues. the kawa and python.net papers are   interesting..

Although I've got no time at present to go much further with it, and 
there is another phpsharp compiler being worked on in italy (using C# 
AFAIK), I think looking closer at parrot as a target CIL may be more 
relevant. although you 'can' map a dynamicly typed language into .NET, 
it's a bit closer to a square peg in  a round hole..

Regards
Alan
