Cool project! Does anybody know a similar library for Ruby? It's kind of a shame that Ruby really loses out to Python in this space

Funny that you say that, I was recently saying that to myself regarding Python and it losing out to Ruby in a lot of instances (Passenger is awesome, kinda works with Python, or Heroku (yes, there are a few out there coming up, but they are still a ways behind)).

Ultimately I wish Ruby and Python would have sex and their offspring be compatible with both so that I can use the best of both worlds ;-)

I found an article on making Ruby call Python: http://www.decalage.info/python/ruby_bridge

Maybe they'll go out and one thing will lead to another.

I believe it's pretty rough (and nearly all of the commits are "Misc. changes") but still. It's a port of some similar work in Python.
