Hey we just implemented it and are really really happy with it: search query duration has an average of 0,0000s on about 20.000 documents. Thats awesome.

Good point, thank you!

BTW,

eval("#{m}(#{args})")

could be rewritten using

self.send(m, args)

For those wanting backwards compatibility with set_server methods instead of SetServer. Use this code:

class Sphinx::Client

  def method_missing(m, *args)

    m = m.to_s.camelize

    if self.methods.include?(m)

      eval("#{m}(#{args})")

    else

      raise NoMethodError, "undefined method '#{m}'"

    end

  end

end

You are right about ruby code conventions. But it is more simple for us to have identical syntax for all languages. I would add more ruby-like syntax in 0.3.1 (hope on this weekend).

Great! Shouldn’t this version be also on RubyForge? I saw only v0.2.0 there..

BTW. My opinion is that Ruby methods should always be of the form: object.method_call. And not object.MethodCall..
But this is just my humble opinion.
