Ruby Target

gset run foo.rb defaults to the Ruby target; --target ruby forces it. Generated files are Ruby scripts executed with ruby.

Mapping table

Verified example

$ gset run hello.rb --target ruby

name = "World"
count = 3
puts("Hello, " + name)
while count > 0
    puts(count)
    count = count - 1
end

Output:

Hello, World
3
2
1

Watch out

• then and do: the emitter uses end-terminated blocks (no do/then required thanks to newline parsing).
• Class flow: Ruby forces class definitions at the top level; today's class-shell support works for declarations but method bodies aren't emitted yet.
• Blocks vs lambdas: GSET lambdas become def wrappers rather than Ruby ->() {}; behavior matches for direct calls.
• Runtime not present on all dev boxes: this repo's dev machine has no ruby binary, so Ruby output is verified by transpile. Install Ruby to run it.

Runtime

Requires ruby on PATH. Override with compiler.ruby.command in gset.conf.
