= Hubris

* http://github.com/mwotton/Hubris

== DESCRIPTION:

  This is a quick and dirty way to call haskell functions from ruby.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  Hubris will wash your car, lie to your boss, and salvage your love life.
  If you are very, very lucky, it might also let you get some uber-fast
  functional goodness into your ruby programs through the back door.

== SYNOPSIS:

  Eventually, we'll integrate with RubyInline or something similar, 
  so we can write inline Haskell. Until that happy day:

    write a haskell file (say sample/foo.hs) with some ccall exports declared
    call "jhc_builder.sh foo.hs". This will build "libfoo.so".
    write a ruby file similar to sample/hsload.rb in order to call the functions from ruby

if all else fails, mail mwotton@gmail.com with tales of woe.

== REQUIREMENTS:

  - jhc <http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/>
  - gcc < ... oh, come on. don't tell me you don't have it. >
  - ruby 1.8.6 or higher
  - linux (mostly because jhc doesn't seem to be working on Mac at the moment.)
  - bash

== INSTALL:

* sudo gem install Hubris
