Subject: Building a REPL for Ruby

Yes, I know ruby already has irb, but I have a friend who keeps  
engaging me in these python vs. ruby wars and he recently submitted  
the challenge to me to

"Write a fully featured REPL for ruby in 70 lines or less.   
Furthermore, it can't be written in ruby."

I was thinking of using Ruby/C but I've never wrote anything like  
this before.  Is their any tips anyone can give me so I can uphold  
ruby's honor?

-Thanks
Shalev
