thanks for this, it was a nice reading. Anyway, it's worth noting that you can wrap C libs withouth writing a single line of C, accessing them directly from ruby code thanks to the ruby/dl module (included in ruby >1.8) |

Plus, in my opinion writing to the C API gives a lot more freedom, and it isn't really that hard, certainly easier than doing so in the other agile languages, that's for sure.
That said, if ruby/dl does what you're looking for then more power to you, I just wasn't very successful with it the last time I tried it out.
