Description
-----------

Opal is a ruby runtime and set of core libraries designed to run
directly on top of javascript. It supports the gem packaging system for
building ruby ready for the browser. It also uses therubyracer to
provide a command line REPL and environment for running ruby server-side
inside a javascript context.

Installation
------------

Opal is distributed as a gem, so install with:

    $ gem install opal

Alternativley, you may just clone this git repo. No building is
neccessary.

Usage
-----

The opal build tools can be used in three ways. As a simple repl, the
bundler tasks and the simple build tasks.

**1. opal Command-line tool**

In its current form, the `opal` executable is very simple - it provides
a simple ruby repl that uses therubyracer to provide an embedable
javascript context. If you have installed the gem, to run the REPL,
simply type:

    $ opal

or if you have cloned this repository, type:

    $ bin/opal

The REPL can be used like any other repl, and internally each command is
being compiled into javascript, and run in the context which opal is
already loaded into.

Changelog
---------

- **30 March 2011**: 0.3.0 Release
    - Major redesign of build tools to use v8 for server side opal
    - Split all opal packages into actual gems
