I think Laurent will write specific MacRuby specs for these differences, so you could look it up from there and write the wiki. Or others interested could simply check the specs to see it for themselves. Eloy On Jul 9, 2009, at 10:12 PM, Rich Morin wrote:
I've been studiously avoiding doing thread programming, but I realize that it's needed for some kinds of problems. Anyway, reading the thread thread made me wonder whether Laurent's new and improved threads will be compatible with other Ruby thread implementations or whether (say) some modifications may be needed to existing code.
More generally, as we learn about how MacRuby varies from other Rubies, we should document this lore in a wiki page:
Better isn't always better, but better is always different.
If folks want to propose content for the page, I'm willing to create and maintain it...
