Yes, as always with apps, the hindsight and other developments suggest
improvements for a second version . .

In my case, it is hard to see how much would be left as Ruby . .

Those things are interesting but unfortunately my stuff is sufficiently
obscure and specific that I have to do the low level stuff - otherwise I
would have used one of the existing simulation packages.

Bit sad, would have been nice . .

Again, not something that is useful in my situation.

I think I might try and do some prototyping with v1.9 and see how it
goes but I am actually supposed to be crunching and writing up results
with the existing stuff . .

Many thanks for the input though!
