I would be adamantly against Ruby or gems or anything of that nature inside of Flex. Flex projects can easily integrate with library projects, which is (from my understanding) essentially what gemsets are, i.e. libraries that you can leverage their API to get stuff done. The main difference is that by calling the gem installer, it "masks" the download, unpackaging, (symlink?) and installing of the lib in some convenient to reuse location so that it is "easily" available for a current or future project.
Having worked inside of IDEs for the last several year, with a good use of folder structures for shared libraries, I have been able to easily use and reuse libs without relying on (or creating dependencies with) other language to manage my libraries. It's convenient for some, but adds more payload to getting a user up and running. And please do not misconstrue my comments. Some people have very positive opinions about Sprouts, and for all intents and purposes, it is a robust toolset that really helps people build their projects more quickly. I just simply do not see why we would add a Ruby dependency in the Flex framework. Regards, JP On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 9:43 AM, Сергей aSt Егоров <bsid...@gmail.com> wrote: > No, Jesus!
