That would be cool.  Interfacing ruby with CoreImage, you may want to
follow the RubyCocoa project, from their website it says that the
unstable branch supports CoreImage (via QuartzCore),

I haven't played with any of these yet, but they do look fun.

If you hit anywhere near Boulder, CO I'll stand you to a beverage of
your choice.  If you happen to make here on May 15, the Boulder/Denver
Ruby Users group is meeting.
