Hi there.  I have a large dataset of people (nodes) and their relationships
(edges) and I'd like to do some social network analysis on it (e.g.
calculate betweenness of nodes, centrality, etc).  I have two things I'd
like to be using: Ruby (as I'm new to programming and this is the language
I've been learning and love it!) and my Mac.  Unfortunately, most of the
analytical tools I've found are for PC (e.g. Pajek, UCINET), and I haven't
been able to find any Ruby libraries/tools to help (though there are some
pretty mature ones for Python I see).  Someone please help me - the last
thing I want to do is bootcamp and python...

Best,
Billy
