Trying Stomp and Stompserver on Ruby

STOMP: Streaming Text Orientated Messaging Protocol is getting important, particularly for web programmers who need to think scalability. There are Ruby implementations of STOMP, called stomp and stompserver. Here is the brief introduction of them.

INSTALL

$ gem install stomp
$ gem install stompserver

Currently it is reported that stompserver cannot be installed well on ruby 1.9. I don't know why so far.

HELLO, WORLD

Get three terminals ready.

[Terminal 1]$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
[Terminal 1]$ stompserver

[Terminal 2]$ irb -rubygems
> require 'stomp'
> Stomp::Client.new.subscribe('/a/b') {|m| p m.body }

[Terminal 3]$ irb -rubygems
> require 'stomp'
> Stomp::Client.new.send('/a/b', 'Hello, world!')

And then check your terminal 2.

stompserver creates etc and log directories on the current directly and opens port 61613.

I'm Attending RubyConf 2009

Now I'm staying at a hotel near San Francisco Airport where RubyConf 2009 will be held on Nov 19 to 21 and JRubyConf on Nov 22 as well.

As an attendee

This is my first time to attend a conference not in Japan. I had lived in Vancouver, Canada for a half year, so now I can speak and listen English better than last year, but I still feel difficulty in using English, particularly in listening. Also, I'm shy and nervous.

If you find such person, feel free to talk to him. It's me. I may have a nameplate that is written "ujihisa".

As a speaker

I'll talk about Ruby's parser. The presentation will be not for a great Ruby hacker, but for an ordinary programmer.

If you are interested in my presentation, I highly recommend you to build the Ruby trunk in advance. It's easy but takes long time.

$ mkdir ~/rubies
$ svn co (ruby trunk)
$ cd (the directory)
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/rubies
$ make
$ make install

As a Japanese

If you are interested in Japanese culture, feel free to ask me about it as well as about Ruby.

Playing with JRuby's Parser

Apply this patch to JRuby.

diff --git a/src/org/jruby/lexer/yacc/RubyYaccLexer.java b/src/org/jruby/lexer/yacc/RubyYaccLexer.java

     private int colon(boolean spaceSeen) throws IOException {
         int c = src.read();

+        if (c == '-' && src.peek(')')) {
+          src.read();
+          lex_state = LexState.EXPR_BEG;
+          yaccValue = new Token("=>", getPosition());

                 lex_state = LexState.EXPR_BEG;

Now you can write :-) as => in braces as Hash literals.

$ ./bin/jruby ./bin/jirb
> {1 => 2}
=> {1=>2}
> {1 :-) 2}
=> {1=>2}
> {:aaa => :bbb}
=> {:aaa=>:bbb}
> {:aaa:-):bbb}
=> {:aaa=>:bbb}

This patch is almost same as my previous patch to MRI.

Accepting Both Get And Post Method in Sinatra

Whe you would like to accept both GET and POST request with the same block, use the following get_or_post method.

[Before]

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'

get '/' do
  'hi'
end

post '/' do
  'hi'
end

[AFTER]

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'

def get_or_post(path, opts={}, &block)
  get(path, opts, &block)
  post(path, opts, &block)
end

get_or_post '/' do
  'hi'
end

4th Vim Workshop at Osaka

http://atnd.org/events/1797

Today I attended a workshop about Vim. Originally I started the workshop, and kozo_ni took over from the workshop and the soul.

The number of the attendees were 10, including a person from far Yokohama.

Presentations of the workshop were broadcast on ustream. Some presentations were recorded.
