Way back in 2004, when we had the
first Java/DynLangs summit,
one of the DynLangs guys’ gripes was that bytecodes were too hard to
generate. They still are; but check out Charles Nutter’s
Bytecode Tools in Ruby: A Low-level DSL;
is it just me, or is that remarkable? I have tended to be a bit less impressed
than your average Ruby fanboy at a bunch of method calls sans
parentheses claiming to be a “DSL”. But man, that looks slick.
Bytecodes!
