Hello ruby-talk,

I have already looked in different corners of the Internet and found a
javascript.toRuby converter [1].
why said both language are pretty similar [2].

So.. do you perhaps know if there is a ruby to javascript converter
out there ?

If you want to know why I need this, well... I'm doing a lot of stuff
that's duplicated under ruby and javascript. DRY, you know..
JSON is nice for that, but it isn't enough since I also need to
replicate methods.

Cheers,
zimba

Something like this could be really useful. You'd need to have at
least some
parse-tree representation of the Ruby code.
http://rubyforge.org/projects/parsetree/

Smells like a not-small project, depending on how much Ruby you want
to include. Modules and mixins? You won't be able to use existing JS
objects with .prototype chains in a simple 1-1 relationship for your
runtime ruby instances, but instead parse ruby code and manually
traverse arrays of hierarchies.
