Subject: Re: Which compiled language is closest to Ruby?

You also might consider using Objective-C: easy to link into C
programs (since you can expose a standard C API, and call C libraries
natively), object model similar to Ruby (message-based method
invocations, runtime-extensible classes, etc.), and a complier that
works on Windows, Linux, OS X, and many other platforms.
