Subject: Can ruby replace c?

Hi
  Can ruby replace c ? Or no, because ruby is a high level language !!
  Can ruby write inline assembly?
  Does ruby have linker script, so i can link any piece to a specific
address, i need this often in driver programming.
  In c, if i declare char[100], it consume 100 bytes, if in ruby, does
it have a datatype that represent one byte? I heard everything in ruby
is object, no exception, so the answer should be no.
  Does ruby have pointer? a cpu-specific pointer? In 32 bit CPU,
pointer is 32 bits, in 16 bit CPU, pointer is 16 bits.

thanks
