Quite lot happened this year and subtle changed a lot - but made also good progresses. In the next year we are going to celebrate the first stable release of subtle!

If anybody reads this: I wish you all a happy new year and all the best!

After replacing Lua with Ruby what next? I am currently working on a Ruby extension that brings the features of subtler to Ruby. This will possible make subtler pointless - but this is it worth for me. (See #4)

Any suggestions?

During the development I feel more and more disappointed with the limited base functions that ship with Lua. And it's complex to force users to stay in an own namespace and I would also like a more OOPish-way in a scripting language.

I am using Ruby for a long time now and I always liked the power that it has. I finally made the decision to replace Lua with Ruby.

To keep the requirements low I will also replace the SCons build system with Rake - a Makefile replacement written entirely in Ruby. SCons is a really nice system, but using Python to check the environment for Ruby is a bit awkward.
