We already have some six ports that would go into that category, and I have a plan to add some more. Would you let Ruby join in the circle of Java, Perl5 and Python, Asami-san? :) Here's some pointers to Ruby for those unfamiliar with it: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ http://www.informit.com/matter/art0000016/ http://www.hypermetrics.com/ruby37.html Briefly, Ruby is an object-oriented scripting language like Perl and Python. (I have a good mind to say "far better than" rather than just "like", but I digress ;) -- / /__ __ / ) ) ) ) / Akinori -Aki- MUSHA aka / (_ / ( (__( @ idaemons.org / FreeBSD.org "We're only at home when we're on the run, on the wing, on the fly" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
