Subject: [QUIZ] Object Query Language for Ruby?

Hello.

Today I've stubled upon an interesting article at CodeProject:

Karmencita: an object query language for .NET
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Karmencita.asp

The do something like

-----
// initialize the data source
// (in this case a Stack of Customers)
Stack<Customer> customers = .....

// initialize Karmencita with
// the type of object to be queries
ObjectQuery<Customer> oq = 
          new ObjectQuery<Customer>();

// write the query
string query = "Name = [Thor the Mighty]" + 
               " and IsMale = true and BirthDate" + 
               " < [1,1,1910]";

//run the query
Customer[] processes = (Customer[]) oq.Select(customers, query);

I have no idea about when and how can be it useful, but it can be intersting
to do the trick for Ruby, ha?

Victor.
