HotRuby – Ruby for Flash and JavaScript
It looks like there is another project, in addition to IronMonkey (which I wrote about in a previous post), that is looking to bring Ruby support to Flash/Flex (and JavaScript).
HotRuby is a Ruby VM, which is written in JavaScript, that runs opcode that is compiled by YARV (the VM that is used in Ruby 1.9).
Using HotRuby it is possible to use straight Ruby to build a Flash app. Here are a couple Flash examples from the HotRuby website:
You can grab the source files for HotRuby from the Google Project site.
