Yes, and yes. I'm unable to reach any of the Web resources I know that discuss this point, but, yes, Ruby's fine for embedding and extending--quite comparable to Python, in fact. Somebody built a vim with Ruby as an extension language. There are more serious examples, even, although I can think of no specific ones just now. The regular c.l.r denizens surely can do better. -- Cameron Laird Business: http://www.Phaseit.net Personal: http://starbase.neosoft.com/~claird/home.html
