Navel presentation at kiev.rb #1

Presentation of navel at kiev.rb #1 held on 07th March, 2011.

Navel - no days

I've lost the day counter. Some small updates and a navel is made to simplify Txl calls.

Navel - one liners

Convert one line function definitions, ord and chr.

Boolean operations needs to be investigated and variables/references assignment.

Navel: Day 13 - Something

Yesterday I forgot to make a note.

Today: range(x,y,1) -> x...y

sort.py file from a nltk library is converted ok, but results are printed wrong.

Navel: Day 11 - not

Skypper is now project Navel.

not is converted to !.

Skypper: Day 10 - FFI

I have played a bit with Ruby FFI and it had appeared to be not that scaring as I thought. So probably I will get back to Skypper initial target Skype4Py. Although the other Python library I found for transformation is also interesting, but I will keep it in a secret.

20 min update: Skype4Py is unstable and produces core dumps very often. Even simple operation to get user name is not working. The library to be transformed is still unclear.

Transformations made:

• var is None to var.nil?
• end added to single while and for blocks

Skypper: Day 09 - if statements

I implemented adding end to if statements suites for (if, elsif and else). Also I decided to postpone preprocessor and other cosmetic changes till the end and devote more time on transforming features.
