[4025.20 --> 4029.34] seems like every kind of language that claims to be embeddable is basically more designed to be |
[4029.34 --> 4035.22] installed onto a system and then loads its additional modules via extra shared libraries |
[4035.22 --> 4041.50] and mruby is really interesting it has its own little build system that compiles all it's split |
[4041.50 --> 4047.02] into all of its features are split into what are called mrb gems and then those are all compiled down |
[4047.02 --> 4053.50] into one single static linked library that you can then embed into other programs and so man it's |
[4053.50 --> 4058.96] really nice and it's actually pretty decent documentation around it uh but like there's not a lot of |
[4058.96 --> 4063.68] projects around it so you do have to do kind of your research and tinker around with the code |
[4063.68 --> 4070.12] but uh it's really well put together and i think it has huge potential and just uh anywhere you could |
[4070.12 --> 4076.16] put lua uh the embeddable language lua you could probably put mruby and do a lot more because you |
[4076.16 --> 4084.84] know lua misses it lacks certain things basic things like bitwise operators yeah cool so the last question |
[4084.84 --> 4089.84] is uh for a programmer hero or just somebody that's been really influential in your life to this point |
[4089.84 --> 4097.78] oh man um so i try to be really anti-hero because anti-hero worship i feel like it really holds people |
[4097.78 --> 4102.72] back uh when they're always kind of looking up to someone and instead of some inspiring to you know |
[4102.72 --> 4108.46] improve themselves and challenge themselves but i definitely have to say like uh as as far as like |
[4108.46 --> 4114.06] programmer wisdom goes i feel like uh dan cubb who worked on the data mapper project uh |
[4114.06 --> 4124.68] uh uh piat solnick and then also uh marcus i'm gonna mispronounce his name marcus shriept mbj uh he he |
[4124.68 --> 4131.08] wrote mutants yeah and uh those people are kind of like the most interesting discussions about like |
[4131.08 --> 4137.24] design and you know when when principles are taken too far uh when they're not applied like pretty much |
[4137.24 --> 4142.82] anything solnick writes is like i pretty much agree with it so those are kind of like they're |
[4142.82 --> 4150.10] they're they're hip cats they know what's up yeah for sure awesome well i wanted to say thanks a lot |
[4150.10 --> 4156.72] for coming on this show i think that this is a uh i don't know you kind of get the sense with with |
[4156.72 --> 4162.80] ruby switchers and just with the this world that um we've we've almost gotten as simple as we can get |
[4162.80 --> 4168.10] but at the same time it feels like we've got a far a long way to go right i mean your call to arms kind |
[4168.10 --> 4175.06] of sums it up right and that like the goal would ultimately be to not really need these things and |
[4175.06 --> 4180.48] uh so you know i think that we've got a long way to go here but but i like the uh the simplicity that |
[4180.48 --> 4184.74] you're aiming for so once again i just want to say thanks a bunch for joining us today it was post |
[4184.74 --> 4191.98] modern um his uh real name has been redacted and uh no just kidding um but yeah no for sure we will uh |
[4191.98 --> 4197.42] we'll uh be back next week um so make sure you listen we are going to start doing this weekly |
[4197.42 --> 4203.68] again um now that everything has started to settle down so back to live too i think we're gonna be uh |
[4203.68 --> 4209.16] if you're listening to this obviously you are because you're hearing me say this but uh our uh our new date |
[4209.16 --> 4216.80] is friday live at 10 a.m central standard time um if for some reason we don't have a guest we're just |
[4216.80 --> 4221.54] gonna get on there anyways and just talk about awesome open source so we're we're aiming for weekly |
[4221.54 --> 4228.58] live um should be a fun time and a postmodern we've we've uh been playing some email tag for a bit |
[4228.58 --> 4233.56] too trying to get you on the show and just echo andrew's thoughts too just static static to have you |
[4233.56 --> 4238.46] on the show uh love the work you're doing in open source and just want to do as much as we can to |
[4238.46 --> 4243.66] encourage you to keep doing the awesome work that you're doing thanks man it was a fun time being |
[4243.66 --> 4247.70] on the show and hope to hear more awesome episodes of you guys absolutely go ahead andrew |
[4247.70 --> 4254.04] uh yeah that's it so until next time we'll just say goodbye bye-bye adios |
[4254.04 --> 4256.70] you |

[4258.70 --> 4272.70] you |
[4272.70 --> 4283.70] you |
[4283.70 --> 4285.70] you |
[4285.70 --> 4287.70] you |

• The developer had to invent their own module system and dependency injection, as existing solutions like browserify were not suitable for the project's requirements. |
• T Edit was not funded through crowdfunding, but the JS Git campaign was successful, which might be due to the companies' reluctance to fund open-source projects without a contract and exclusive ownership. |
