After few sleepless night, “full” porting of Ruby over to Android finally works. Porting Ruby over to ARM platform is pretty much tricky but it is very cool project.
To make sure most of the RoR stuff work, my target is to get Metasploit 3 runs on Android. Running a full Metasploit is pretty much at Android emulator. But I guess at least I am reaching some where.
So for people who loves Ruby, doing RoR on Android will be a cool stuff. I At this stage, I’m not sure what type of benefits it will bring to the RoR developers. But i guess this is pretty much a good alternative for RoR loves, alternative for Java :)
