Ruby 1.9 is fast!
-
I just got around to installing Ruby 1.9 - why didn't you guys tell me it was sooo much faster than the 1.8 series on Windows? And not "noticably" faster, but shockingly faster.

Does this has an impact on the SKP rubies?

Only if we can figure out how to make Sketchup load the 1.9.x Interpreter DLL.
On Windows, When I try it, I get a "Entry Point Not Found" error.
Has anyone been sucessful in getting SU to use 1.9.x on the Mac ??

Could you wrote a wrapper that somehow tricked SketchUp into thinking it's using 1.8?

Got some numbers Jim?

No, I removed the old version even before installing 1.9.

Well.. in a way I did. The simpliest of all wrappers... I renamed a copy of the DLL file:
from msvcrt-ruby191.DLL
to msvcrt-ruby18.DLL (and copied it to the SU program folder.)But I'm wondering if I got a 1.9.1 release that was compilied with mingwin.
It's about time for me to try it again, with a newER release. -
Here's a slideshow of things to know about Ruby 1.9.
And the slideshow itself was created from simple textile markdown files using the slideshow gem. Kind of a nice idea and nice looking presentations, I think.

Why do you suppose no one has written a compiler?
20 years ago a top-of-the-line PC was a 25MHz 80386. Interpreters made sense. Today, compile, link and run in a good IDE is done with the press of an F key and doesn't take a full second. Am I missing some good reason to stay interpreted?

Yes. Late binding allows lots of flexibility.
