Hello,

I'm pleased to announce you the first public release of emerald at

http://rubyurl...

Emerald is an object oriented language with constraints and logic
features, inspired from prolog, Oz, CSP and Hyper/J.

I started this as an hack since ruby is becoming less fun.
It will not be as good as ruby, but please try it out while we wait for
Rite.

Thank you for this amazing new language!

I especially like the way you combined iterators into a purely logical
predicate language. It's brilliance, and shows how far Prolog has to
come!

Keep up the good work. Maybe Rite can be written in Emerald?

Remember what happened the last time someone joked about a programming
language?

Parrot!

I don't know. There's something fishy about this.

With this language, Ruby is fin-ished.

Now all we can do is flounder about.

I feel gill-ty for recommending Ruby now.

Emerald will be fast; if anyone can tuna language, it's Matz.

That's all I got,
