I started wrapping it in a Ruby extension. Problem is it requires C++ 
linker (it uses C++ to implement exceptions) and I didn't push further 
on how to integrate that mkmf et al. I think it is doable though and 
would make for a nice Ruby compiling backend so please go ahead. Mind 
you it currently only has an interpreter for implementing the the 
"bytecode functionality" but the author told me that an X86 back-end is 
expected in the 1-2 months time frame.
