Subject: Re: embedding: ruby vs. lua

I am in the process of writing a minimal C++ program, which would do the 
sort of things I will be doing for my project.  Then I am going to write 
a benchmark script in Lua, Ruby, Io, and maybe others, and bindings to 
my C++.

This will give me good idea of how syntacticly nice the it is to create 
bindings.  I will eliminate anything that is a bitch to work with.

Then run the benchmarks.

If ruby is competitive, I will use it, as I prefer it.  Otherwise I will 
choose the smallest/fastest/easiest....

If there is interest here, I will post my results back.
