This is a smashing introductory book for ruby: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why…
Links at the bottom of the page.- Just realised this has already been posted. I hang my head in shame...dorfsman

I wonder what happened to _why?

I'm very interested in Ruby-Processing too, its a shame _why never came back to the internet because I really enjoyed his blog.

ruby bindings for OpenFrameworks also looks interesting

Ok guys. Here's the (somewhat) cleaned up version of this thread:

Ahh.. an obvious question I didn't think about asking:
How can you demo ruby processing experiments on the web?

Interesting concept and no doubt powerful, I still prefer writing in Java. I have processing set up with Eclipse.

ERROR: could not find ruby-processing locally or in a repositoryI've looked around... can't figure this out. I'm completely new to this, in case you can't tell. My Ruby is showing it's version 1.8.6

i've been following the ruby-processing repo on github for a while now, but never got around to messing with it. thanks for the great blog post stewart! it's the perfect kick to get me up and hacking with ruby.

@lukus_W
I hadn't thought of that either. Perhaps it can compile to Java via JRuby and run in-browser like a normal Processing sketch? My friend Jürg showed me this totally crazy business : http://hotruby.yukoba.jp/. It's probably *not* the answer, but an interesting idea on its own.
Similarly... If you're a fan of Scheme (or Lisp) that HotRuby page has a link to GoldenScheme, a Scheme interpreter for JavaScript!

there's also lispy version of processing via clojure.

my installation fails, and returns this:
ERROR: could not find ruby-processing locally or in a repository
Any ideas?
- thebottlerocket0
I should have been a bit more clearer...and perhaps waited before firing off that post...but if anyone else encounters this error, I simply downloaded the gem file from Ruby Gems here:
http://rubygems.org/gems/ruby-pr…
and installed from a local version

PROCESSING + LISP
As @armsbottomer pointed out... Clojure is an implementation of Lisp, another beautiful language that's not from the C/C++ lineage. (I think Clojure is technically not old-school Lisp, but really CommonLisp or Scheme as it does lexical closures, hence the name?) You can add Processing on to Clojure via this nice little package here : http://github.com/rosado/clj-pro…
PROCESSING + PYTHON
There's actually an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) out there for this called NodeBox, based on the original DrawBot IDE. If you're used to doing Processing straight in the Processing app (rather than say, importing the raw Processing library into a regular Java project) then DrawBot is for you. It keeps things simple : http://nodebox.net
But if you want to go about Python Processing sans IDE there's Pyprocessing. You can grab that package from here : http://code.google.com/p/pyproce…

@PIZZA How do I go about locating this installation, friend?

I changed domain names so the old Ruby-Processing post is now available at this new URL :
