Ruby & Crystal Support #26

Open ylluminate opened 6 years ago

ylluminate commented 6 years ago

Has anyone worked towards Ruby support with DRAKON? Opal would also be a solid fit for integration in the browser since it generates JS from Ruby. Any thoughts?

With Ruby being solidly in the top 10 languages and continuing it's march upward, it's definitely worthwhile, arguably much more so than Go (17) and other interesting languages.

Crystal is another area that would be interesting in terms of adding support since it is so very similar to Ruby. Could the lexer definition here be of some help in defining the grammar for the generator?
