You can already do a lot of what matlab does with ruby-gsl. There are 
also a couple of gnuplot and plotutils bridges to make plotting easy. 
(plotutils bridge is part of ruby-gsl)

For an R bridge I use a simple class that writes stuff to a script file 
and then executes the script with R. It is far from perfect but doable. 
But I would certainly welcome a better bridge.
