		<description><![CDATA[I'm curious about the effort involved in writing a new programming language, and hence have been doing a little research (including watching Guy Steele's now-famous and amusing Growing a Language lecture). I know I want to target the NekoVM (primarily one of the targets of haxe, for now), but what languages should I base it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I was curious to see how destructors work in Ruby, and...they don't. Or rather, the method we do have, ObjectSpace.define_finalizer, is rather restrictive. But it does leave a loophole -- the callback method receives an object_id. If you're thinking this is a bad idea, you might be right -- this is just a proof [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Came across an interesting utility library: Sprockets. It's a Ruby-powered Javascript preprocessor. It's used for three things -- embedding other js files into the current js file, ensuring required assets get copied to the assets root, and for interpolating constants (like version numbers, author, etc) into the js file. I found it browsing Prototype.js's source [...]]]></description>

If you got your Ruby from a package manager, you have to get an extra package before reinstalling Ruby. If you built from source (as is currently the only way to get Ruby 1.9.1 [...]]]></description>

This involves taking a large volume of logs (multiple gigabytes) and somehow organizing them so that the data stored within them are readily available. This is no small task. At present, there are thousands of individually gzipped files, and the best way [...]]]></description>

It uses Gosu (game engine), Chipmunk (physics engine), ImageMagick (popular graphics tool), and RMagick (wrapper for ImageMagick in Ruby). With the help of RubyScript2Exe it almost, almost worked. Gosu and Chipmunk had no problem, as [...]]]></description>

I've made a couple interesting discoveries, in terms of applications to help me do this. The first is called RubyScript2Exe. It takes all the [...]]]></description>
