hey there
<cliffstah>
first off - fantastic job.. I've needed several new pairs of trousers since I discovered Opal.
<cliffstah>
second, I'm trying to do some funky things with it over at Koding.com. Their KD Apps API uses Node and CoffeeScript, and well, being a complete Ruby fanatic I'd rather use that. So I'm trying to put together an alternative "compiler" using Opal, but there are a couple of things I haven't quite figured out and I wondered if someone could spare me a moment to assist :-)
<cliffstah>
It's really quite simple and I'm sure that you could point me in the right direction rather quickly. (incidentally, if you want to try Koding.com out - please let me give you a referrer link so I can earn a little disk space in the process - thanks!)
<cliffstah>
Anyway, I digress. What I'm trying to do, is stick as close as I can to the Koding eco system, i.e. node, and gently crowbar this alternative "compiler" in. This basically means using npm rather than gem. From what I can see, opal-node is the interpreter side of Opal, and the compiler itself is a gem. Is it possible to compile using opal-node, or should I be looking at perhaps taking the output of the opal gem and using that in my node module?
<cliffstah>
Thanks in advance if you happen to see this before I eventually and invariably work it out, and thanks anyway if not ;-)
<cliffstah>
oh my word. so, if I have this right.. you have a Ruby parser/compiler.. that can compile _itself_ into JS..?
