1. Smalltalk On Rubinius Konstantin Haase
10. Why implement Smalltalk on Rubinius?
11. Why create a programming language?
12. Why create?
13. "When you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. Your tastes only narrow and exclude people. So create." why the lucky stiff
14. Why a programming language?
15. About programming languages: "I don’t like any of them, and I don’t think any of them are suitable for the real programming problems of today, whether for systems or for end-users" Alan Kay
16. Problem Oriented Programming Languages Cairo (~120k SLOC in C) rewritten in less than 400 lines
17. Why Smalltalk?
18. Why Rubinius?
20. 1 + 1 1 + 1
21. this is it this.is.it
22. GoGaRuCo rock: #hard GoGaRuCo.rock :hard
23. doc convertFrom: #xml to: #yaml doc.convert(:xml, :ruby)
24. doc convertFrom: #xml to: #yaml doc.convert from: :xml, to: :ruby
25. [ 42 ] proc { 42 }
26. anArray do: [ :each | each doSomething ] an_array.each do |element| element.do_something end
27. Textmate version = 2 ifTrue: [ 'no way' ] ifFalse: [ 'thought so' ] if Textmate.version == 2 "no way" else "thought so" end
28. Storage current store: #foo; store: #bar storage = Storage.current storage.store :foo storage.store :bar
29. Smalltalk claims to look like: 'English'. Judge yourself. Does it. Ruby.claims.to.look. like "English" Judge.yourself; Does.it?
30. Reak github.com/rkh/Reak Like Squeak but with R File based (as opposed to image based)
32. The Rubinius Compiler Pure Ruby Modular and Flexible lib/compiler
34. Parsing with KPeg github.com/evanphx/kpeg
35. " from Reak.AST.Self " grammar: g [ ^ g str: 'self' ] # from Reak::AST::Return def bootstrap_grammar(g) g.seq "^", :sp, g.t(:expression) end
36. Rubinius Bytecode
37. $ rbx compile -B -e 'puts "Hello World"' 0000: push_self 0001: push_literal "Hello World" 0003: allow_private 0004: send_stack :puts, 1
38. $ rbx compile -B -e 'puts "Hello World"' 0000: push_self 0001: push_literal "Hello World" 0003: allow_private 0004: send_stack :puts, 1
39. $ rbx compile -B -e 'puts "Hello World"' 0000: push_self 0001: push_literal "Hello World" 0003: allow_private 0004: send_stack :puts, 1
40. $ rbx compile -B -e 'puts "Hello World"' 0000: push_self 0001: push_literal "Hello World" 0003: allow_private 0004: send_stack :puts, 1
41. $ rbx compile -B -e 'puts "Hello World"' 0000: push_self 0001: push_literal "Hello World" 0003: allow_private 0004: send_stack :puts, 1
42. class Object dynamic_method(:display) do |g| g.push_self g.push_local(0) # first argument g.send(:puts, 1, true) g.ret end end display "Hello World"
43. Reusing the Rubinius tool chain
45. class Reak::Compiler < Rubinius::Compiler class Parser < Stage stage :parser next_stage Generator end end
46. class CustomNode < Reak::AST::Base def self.bootstrap_grammar(g) # grammar definition end def bytecode(g) # bytecode definition end end
47. class ConstantAccess < Rubinius::AST::ConstantAccess include Reak::AST::Node Reak::AST::Primary.push self def self.bootstrap_grammar(g) g.t /[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*/ end # no bytecode definition necessary end
48. Rubinius.AST.TrueLiteral subclass: #TrueLiteral [ Reak.AST.Primary push: self. self include: Reak.AST.Node. self class >> grammar: g [ ^ g str: 'true' ]. ]
49. " Remember cascades? " g pushSelf; pushLocal: 0; send: #puts args: 1 private: true; ret.
50. Reak.AST.Base subclass: #Cascade [ Reak.AST.Expression push: self. bytecode: g [ g pushSelf. cascadedSends do: [:send | g dup. send bytecode: g. g pop ]. lastSend bytecode: g. ] ]
