Woohoo! Well, someday maybe.
I at least have C# as well as my C, and am finding myself calling a
few Ruby scripts from C# to do background things. I guess one of the
downsides of opensource projects not caring about "mainstream
acceptance" is that I don't get to program in Ruby at work much.
I'd need RAD on Windows at work, and so the only thing I think of at
the moment is to wait for the windows version of QtRuby to arrive.

Or until we all switch to Linux... (sure thing!)
