Sorry for the late post, I have been busy with other things.
Anyway, I am working on a port of Ruby 1.8.6 p111 to Plan 9.
I have the miniruby interpreter compiled and linked. It appears
to work OK but I have not stressed it very much. I will be
working on completing the port of a statically linked Ruby
interpreter.
One feature I like about Ruby is the ability to add libraries
of code that contain C code. Ruby does this through dynamic
linking. Since Plan 9 doesn't support dynamic linking, (and I
am not suggesting that it be added to Plan 9), what is the
general consensus on how to achieve similar functionality without
resorting to dynamic linking?
