Message: [QUOTE="John Pritchard-Williams, post: 4598344"] I'm a newbie: I'm inevitably comparing Ruby with Java (whether this is healthy or wise thing to do I don't know..) - but I have not seen any documentation on whether or not Ruby (as in the interpreter / platform, not the language itself) has the concept of a 'security manager' - something to restrict untrusted code. For instance, (without certifications) Java Applets are not allowed to do certain stuff - like access local filestore, or open up n/w connections (apart from back to source) - is there an equivalent concept in Ruby ? Thanks John [/QUOTE]
