# rouge

Ruby + Clojure = Rouge.

## quickstart

Rouge is not yet mature enough to have an installer or distributions. Just
clone the source and run the `rouge` script to start:

git clone git://github.com/unnali/rouge
cd rouge
bundle install
bin/rouge

You'll see the `user=>` prompt. Enjoy!

## example

See [boot.rg](https://github.com/unnali/rouge/blob/master/lib/boot.rg),
[em-rg](https://github.com/unnali/em-rg), but to demonstrate salient features:

; define a macro
(defmacro defn [name args & body]
`(def ~name (fn ~name ~args ~@body)))

; call a Ruby method on Kernel (if the ruby namespace is referred)
(defn require [lib]
(.require Kernel lib))

; call a Ruby method on an Array with a block argument
(defn reduce [f coll]
(.inject coll | f))

; using Ruby's AMQP gem with an inline block
(.subscribe queue {:ack true} | [metadata payload]
(puts (str "got a message: " payload))
(.ack metadata))

; copied from core.clj and modified to work with our currently smaller core
(defmacro binding [bindings & body]
(let [var-ize (fn [var-vals]
(.flatten
(map
(fn [pair]
(let [key (first pair)
val (second pair)]
[`(.name (var ~key)) val]))
(.each_slice var-vals 2))
1))]
`(try
(push-thread-bindings (hash-map ~@(var-ize bindings)))
~@body
(finally
(pop-thread-bindings)))))

What about in Rails?

$ r c -- -I../rouge/lib -rrouge
Loading development environment (Rails 3.2.6)
1.9.3p194 :002 > Rouge::REPL.repl []
user=> (.where ruby/Content {:id 1})
Content Load (0.7ms) SELECT "contents".* FROM "contents" WHERE "contents"."id" = 1
[#]
user=>

## TODO

See [TODO](https://github.com/unnali/rouge/blob/master/TODO), but big ones
include:

* seqs
* persistent datastructures everywhere
* defprotocol

## contributions

Yes, please! The usual dance would be:

* Fork.
* Check that tests are passing. (`master` should always be 100%, but currently
this is not the case.)
* Make a topic branch.
* Do your tests, do your thing.
* Make sure you didn't break anything!
* Pull request!

Note that I've yet to work out copyright or license (will ask on
`clojure-dev`), but promise that they won't be anything stupid.

## authorship

Original author: Arlen Cuss — [ar@len.me](mailto:ar@len.me).

Inspiration: 100% [Clojure](https://github.com/clojure/clojure). Thanks be to
Rich Hickey.

## copyright and licensing

Yet to be determined; likely EPL due to the entire concept and some code taken
direct from Clojure.
