Re: "Java, Sun SPOT and the FIRST Robotics Competition"
Ruby is like Cobol, just with a different syntax. It's yet another programming language. The difference is in the libraries that you can use without writing them.
In a robot context there isn't a big advantage between Basic, C, Cobol, C, C++, Fortran, Java, Javascript, Perl or Ruby. You are doing basic math / geometry calcs, basic data in (joysticks) and data out (motors). The problem you face in a Ruby (Java, Perl, etc) world is to get the programmers to use existing library code and to not reinvent the world. |
