    Search the list for past messages about Ruby.  This has been discussed
    before.  Ruby should be an excellent target for the Strongtalk virtual
    machine.  However, Ruby has a very messed-up grammar, which makes it
hard to
    write a new parser for it.

  This summer Google will fund a student to work on Ruby parser wiht ANTLR:
  http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/04/gsoc-series-wang-haofei

  We will try our best to provide an easy-to-maintain parser so that people
can build better tools above it.

  I am very interested in running ruby on strongtalk and will do more
research on it.

That's good news.  We will keep our fingers crossed; I too would like to see
Ruby running on Strongtalk.
