There are a couple of things that help to keep the Ruby variants in sync. The first is that fact that Ruby has a substantial set of built-in methods that provide access to OS resources (eg, I/O). So, with a bit of care, I can open and read or write a file using any sort of interop syntax.
The second is the presence of RubySpec (http://rubyspec.org), a collection of tens of thousands of tiny tests that characterize the behavior of Ruby environments. A given Ruby implementation may or may not meet all of the spec, but at least it can check! -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume r...@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Software system design, development, and documentation -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
