I tried the other day to setup a mailing-list for mruby. Due to the reason that there isn’t any platform yet for discussions. While doing this I messed up a little bit my platform. So now everything is up and running again and hopefully we soon have some kind of mailing-list which we can use for further discussions.
Nevertheless back to normal…
What happened last month on the mruby front?
BEGIN/END was removed from the mruby syntax.

MRB_NAN_BOXING and MRB_ENDIAN_BIG was introduced for customising the mruby interpreter even more. The NaN Boxing is at the moment conflicting with the FLOAT implementation. Due to that MRB_USE_FLOAT and MRB_NAN_BOXING can’t be used at the same time.

mruby can now read from the stdin if no argument is given. This gives more possibilities to connect mruby with other unix command line tools.
