[webkit-help] Decoupling JavaScript from WebCore (ScriptState, etc.)

[Tim Mahoney]

I'm generating bindings between Ruby and WebCore. The goal is to allow Ruby to be used instead of JavaScript. This means I'll need to create generic versions of the the JavaScript-specific classes like ScriptState and ScriptController.

So far, I've been pleasantly surprised by the decoupled nature of JavaScript and WebCore, but it depresses me to look at the ScriptState class. I figure I'll make a generic interface for ScriptState, then I'll rename the JSC and V8 implementations to JSCScriptState and V8ScriptState. Finally, I'll create an RBScriptState class for Ruby.

The problem is that I might make a mess. Can anyone give me some advice or words of wisdom before I put on my refactoring hat and go for it?
