There's a company (Fluent) located in my town that does fluid  
dynamics... in C... But they have many modules of their stuff in  
Python. I spoke to one of the guys at my Linux Users Group meeting,  
and he says they **might** start doing some modules in Ruby by next  
year (I wanted to do some basic interning there, like systems  
administration, dirty work, etc).

So in short... There're some things in Python that may or may not be  
open source, and then porting those to Ruby shouldn't be too hard.

I'll email the guy, and ask him about maybe releasing some of their  
code ;-)
