But Ruby won't be truly complete until you can do something like this:

----------------------------------
require 'inline'

class Inline::Bf < Inline::BrainF_ck  # [1]
  def initialize(mod)
    super(mod)
  end

  def import(header)
    @src << "#import #{header}"
  end
end

class MyClass
  inline(:Bf) do |builder|

    builder.bf %q{
 >+++++++++[<++++++++>-]<.>+++++++[<++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.[-]>++++++++[<++++>-]
<.#>+++++++++++[<+++++>-]<.>++++++++[<+++>-]<.+++.------.--------.[-]>++++++++[
<++++>-]<+.[-]++++++++++.
    }
  end
end

MyClass.new.test
--------------------------------
