flowscript in jruby
Hi Cocoon folk,
I am a long time fan of Ruby, and work with Cocoon for a living (at
VNU with Pier) and hope to get a better knowledge of its inner workings,
the prospect of working with Ruby inside Cocoon is therefore very
interesting to me,
I would love to have a look into this, but have no idea really of how
complex implementing a flowscript implementation is,
if I could get a little help, I would like to have a go at tackling
this as my first real contribution to Cocoon,
please let me know if you are happy for me to delve into this,
cheers,
Ross McDonald.

What about groovy? ...through javaflow

Hi,
in all honesty it would depend on how integrated jruby would be, I
know that jruby itself has many limitations
at the moment, so initially it would be more about working with the
ruby synax and various shorthand notations,
if extra functionality or new ways to do things would be enabled over
time though, this would make the task
worthwhile I believe,
I believe that choice is a good thing, so having alternative
implementations helps people to work with what
they like, and I certainly think Ruby has a lot to offer Cocoon,
Ross.

As a flowscript user who has never seen or used Ruby :
What are the advantages of having alternative flowscript
implementations? Does it mean we get to use cool native features of that
particular implementation, or is it just about preferring ruby syntax
over js notation ?
