Heinemeier Hansson: Hey, Sam, there’s no reason to
stay on the sideline watching. We got plenty of room in our pool of
Radical Simplification to let both you and the rest of IBM dip in.
It’s a party and a pursuit where everyone’s
invited.
First question: is YARV
still destined to become
RITE? It
looks like development has stalled in recent weeks.
I’d like to start with the assembler. Unfortunately,
I don’t know Japanese. The
README points me to doc/yarvasm.rb for the yarv instruction
assembler, but that file
doesn’t
exist. Perhaps it meant
rb/yasm.rb?

I have talked with Koichi Sasada, and he agreed to merge his YARV in the current interpreter.
I _hope_ YARV will be core engine before the end of this year.
Yes, Sam. Yasm.rb in an assembler which can write YARV instructions. Sasada Koichi also has a complete instruction table available. Further explanations (in both English and Japanese) can be found in the comment docs within the instruction source.
Perhaps he is a bit scared this month since everyone is calling him the prophesied son-shi now. But since he is son-shi, nothing can stop him.
Thanks! That does help. I’m finding that I’m still not picking this stuff up as fast as I was able to grok Parrot, but I’m confident that I will get there.
Hey Sam i wanted to touch base about some things that came up at STG event. It would be good if you could ping me. See some comments on STG and open source componentry here: [link]
I suggested some internal contacting, and i would like to give you a heads up
