rubidity-typed gem - lets you use Mapping‹Address→UInt›.new or Array‹UInt›.new

Hello, in the ongoing rubidity series (type-safe “blockchain” programming with solidity compatible data types & abis in ruby) i uploaded a new “zero-dependency” rubidity-typed gem. What’s news? Now you can use (user-defined typed) structs and enums and with the new Types module / namespace TypedArray now becomes Array, and TypedString becomes String and so on and thanks to unicode “magic” you can even use Mapping‹Address→UInt›.new or Array‹UInt›.new for working / valid (typed) class names. it’s still (very) early. i invite you to join the fun and let’s explore and learn together. PS: See the crowdfunder contract (ruby script) to see (Rubidity) enums, structs, and more in action.

Rate Limited APIs

I’ve been working with a Rate Limited API recently where the rate is ridiculously small for the application. Being a poor dev without bacon all I can afford is the free API key…. and of course the library that I’m using to access the API has no knowledge of how to handle rate limited APIs. I came up with an idea to inject rate limitations via the configuration of the API key. It only took a minor modification to the API wrapper library to recognize that the api key could be a Proc. Pull Request to the library author; rate limiter built; all is right with the world. [more inside]

rubidity-simulacrum gem v0.1 - run blockchain contracts in rubidity w/ eth simulator

Hello, yes, rubidity started as a joke (by Middlemarch a.k.a. Tom Lehman this summer). can it get any more stupid!? let’s try. some years ago i put together an ethereum simulator called universum (yes, in ruby). now that rubidity is a kind of better (or 100% solidity-compatible) version of secure ruby i put together a 2nd generation ethereum simulator (universum v2) called … drum roll, please … simulacrum. i published the first rubidity-simulacrum gem (v0.1) that lets you run (dumb) blockchain contracts in rubidity (with 100%-solidity compatible data types & abis) on an ethereum simulacrum in your own home for fun & profit (for free). happy blockchain programming with ruby & rubidity. ps: rubidity SOON! on mainnet. See Introducing DumbSwap!.

rubidity-typed gem update - "zero-dependency" typed value and reference classes

Hello, for those one or two people interested in rubidity - a it’s just ruby version with 100%-compatible solidity types and abis - i updated the rubidity-typed gem that’s the foundation with with “zero-dependency” typed value and reference classes. it’s still (very) early. if anyone is interested in typed ruby (at runtime only; no static type-checker) i invite you to join the fun and let’s explore and learn together.
