We're thinking about experimenting with calling Ruby from GemStone Smalltalk. Would this be useful to you? Is there a particular (Ruby) gem you'd like to use from GLASS? Let us know.

Hi Monty,
Often web services have associated Ruby libraries to wrap up the API. For example EC2 Ruby library, shopping cart Ruby libraries. Why reinvent in Smalltalk when it's available in Ruby.

Monty,
I'm amazed there has been so little response to this question. To me, that sounds like an awesome ability! Interoperability with Ruby libraries will open a vast world of useful code to us. I'm not a Ruby user, so difficult to say which gems I would like to use from GLASS. But in my experience using JavaConnect, opening up language interoperability to Smalltalk is always a good thing. Hope to hear more about this! Johan On 29 Jun 2011, at 22:58, Monty Williams wrote: > We're thinking about experimenting with calling Ruby from GemStone Smalltalk. Would this be useful to you?

(Monty, sorry for the delay answering your question but life has been
busy here, in particular with the Las Conchas fire). Yes, I would love to see a way to call Ruby from GemStone. Right now we are using performOnServer: with some Ruby scripts dynamically generated in Smalltalk (to take care of some variables). But looking at our current scripts, the main reasons for our Ruby calls is for interfacing with other systems through Web services (REST through https or Web service through ssh). Our needed libraries exist in Ruby, not in GemStone. Having a direct Web service client system from within GemStone will be great too... Thierry |
Thanks Thierry,
Martin McCLure will be talking on calling Ruby from SMalltalk at ESUG in Edinburgh next month. Any chance you'll be there? -- Monty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thierry Thelliez" <[hidden email]> To: "GemStone Seaside beta discussion" <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, July 11, 2011 5:58:47 PM Subject: Re: [GS/SS Beta] Calling Ruby from Smalltalk (Monty, sorry for the delay answering your question but life has been busy here, in particular with the Las Conchas fire).

Thanks Thierry, Monty, this sounds like a very interesting talk at ESUG and I wish that I was attending. Are there plans to record the talk at ESUG with ScreenFlow or something like that?

All the ESUG talks are recorded and put on the web. For example, look at "Experiences in the Development of a Next Generation Event Planning System with Seaside" on http://esug2010.objectfusion.fr/. (The real talk starts about 5 minutes into the video)
Johan talks a bit about porting their Seaside app from Pharo to GemStone. -- Monty From: "Conrad Taylor" <[hidden email]> To: "GemStone Seaside beta discussion" <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, July 11, 2011 10:41:15 PM Subject: Re: [GS/SS Beta] Calling Ruby from Smalltalk On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 9:58 PM, Monty Williams <[hidden email]> wrote: Thanks Thierry, Monty, this sounds like a very interesting talk at ESUG and I wish that I was attending.

I'll be attending ESUG and hope to learn how to interact with Ruby, and here at my job I really need reading and writing excel documents, so I could use some time to collaborate in this subject :) Cheers, Carla On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 2:30 PM, Monty Williams <[hidden email]> wrote:
