well - it would end this thread.  ;-)

ps.  you may have seen that i'm working on a book about scientific programming
with ruby (published by the pragmatic programmers); a bulk of the book will be
formed around case studies, some of which we've already started.  it turns out
people are doing some pretty interesting science with ruby

   http://sciruby.codeforpeople.com/sr.cgi/InterestingPeople

in you know of any others, especially in japan, or have any other input please
don't hesitate to let me know.

cheers.
