Posted by: Will Fitzgerald on March 17, 2006 12:23 PMJust a warning, the server part of this (in the code mentioned on #lisp is only known to work, at the moment, in fairly recent version of Allegro and the client side has only been tested in fairly recent (i.e. 1.5) versions of Firefox.
Posted by: Peter Seibel on March 17, 2006 03:08 PMRuby has a flag that makes the run-time not accept certain dangerous operations. Is this awesome thing you have done going to have some kind of sandboxing?

Posted by: NonYiddishPerson on March 19, 2006 04:23 AMPlotz = Explode in Yiddish, I think.
I tried this thing. It's very slightly interesting, although slow, and a pain in the ass bcs no normal controls work, e.g. can't cut/paste. Ruby looks vaguely like smalltalk, or something, with crapy java-like syntax -- When will people learn that parens and functional programming are the One True Way? ... Okay, the two true ways!
