I have finally released the first version of BiteScript , my little DSL for generating JVM bytecode. Install it as a gem with "gem install bitescript".BiteScript grew out of my work on Duby . I did not want to call directly into a Java bytecode API like ASM, so I wrapped it with a nice Ruby-like layer. I also wanted the option of having blocks of bytecode look like raw assembly, but also callable as an API.Currently only two projects I know of make use of BiteScript: Duby and the upcoming Ruby-to-Java "compiler2" in JRuby, which will also be released as a gem.For a longer example, you can look at tool/compiler2.rb in JRuby, lib/duby/jvm/jvm_compiler.rb in Duby, or an example implementation of Fibonacci in BiteScript I'm open to suggestions for how to improve the API, and I'd also like to add the missing Java 5 features. The better BiteScript works, the better Duby and "compiler2" will work.
