We provide the interpreter program "mruby" and +the interactive mruby shell "mirb" as examples. You can also compile Ruby programs into compiled byte code +using the mruby compiler "mrbc". All those tools reside in "bin" directory. The "mrbc" is also able to +generate compiled byte code in a C source file. You can check the "mrbtest" program under the "test" directory. This achievement was sponsored by the Regional Innovation Creation R&D Programs of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. -## Features of mruby - - | Compatibility with MRI(Matz Ruby Implementation) version... - | - |FIXME: - | + Simple Syntax - | + *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls) - | + *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex.
