Subject: Interest in Boost::Ruby

    I'd like to build a CSS renderer in modern C++ as an enthusist's
    pursuit. I don't want to get bogged down in huge build systems,
    or many different IDEs. 

    I'd like to make development rapid by using a scripting
    language where I can. I want it to be Ruby. I'm adopting Ruby as
    a build system for C++ as noted in another thread.
    
    It would be nice to script complicated algrothims in Ruby,
    before fixing them in C++. I'd like to work on making objects
    accessible to Ruby as I go along.

    I know that Ruby can communicate with C++ using SWIG, but I'm
    wondering if there isn't anything more explicit. Something that
    will bind tighter to Ruby. The Boost libraries favor Python due
    to Boost::Python. Is there something similar, or is there
    interest in something similar?
