Just one question, can one go through this tutorial without much knowledge about Ruby? Should one read it with 'Ruby Under a Microscope'? I have a decent enough knowledge about compilers, have gone through Thorsten Ball's, 'Writing an Interpreter in Go'.

Only need to know basic Ruby programming - no libraries or deep knowledge.

But the project is unfinished I’m afraid - you will find dead-ends.

Oh I see, thanks for the info!! I'll see what I can gain out of it. Thanks once again for the info!!
