Hi!
I'd like to write cross-platform applications that either run in the browser
or run as standalone GUI applications in a functional programming language.
I understand that Ruby is a functional programming language and I was
wondering:
1. How widely is Ruby used on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows?
2. Are there compilers/interpreters targetting the JVM/.NET that make it
easy to develop GUI applications?
3. Has anyone done any significant work in this area using Ruby?
4. Are scientists and engineers using Ruby?
Many thanks,
