However, there was recently an off-topic post here where someone said they had made a Scheme interpreter available through the App Store: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/1743573 Warning: since you have to pay them 99c to test their claim, it could just be a scam. Otherwise, your best bet might be one of the experimental Ruby interpreters written in Javascript. Or you could try this: http://bellard.org/jslinux/ http://bellard.org/jslinux/tech.html I'd be interested to know how long it takes to boot on an iPad :-) An Android pad wouldn't have this issue. "Rubuto" is full jRuby for Android, and is available for free from the Android marketplace. Regards, Brian. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
