Formal Language Semantics

[Christopher C.Aycock]

Does anyone know where I can get the formal language semantics for Ruby
(assuming such a thing exists)?

Thank you,

Unfortunately no. I am too casual person to be formal.

Hello Matz,

Thanks for your response; at least I can stop looking now. :)

Anyway, the reason I wanted the semantics is that I'm creating a
"Parallel Ruby" as part of my dissertation. The goal is to be like High
Performance Fortran, only with a much better base language and much
cleaner extensions. I was just hoping to find all the information I can
about the design of the Ruby system.

Thank you,
Chris

Any possibility we might be able to see that someday?
This sounds very interesting.

I KNEW that. Why did it take me half an hour?

Interesting, can you tell us more?
