Subject: Re: Native gem roundup!

I use Gosu for game development, which I suppose is a wrapper around the 
Gosu C++ library from the same developer... I think more people use Gosu 
from Ruby than from C++, though I haven't asked. Gosu as a whole is a 
wrapper around OpenGL, fmod (or SDL), and Cocoa/Win32/GTK (depending on 
platform).

I also used RubyCocoa to allow me to construct a native OS X application 
in Ruby... I'm not sure how you'd classify that into one of the 
categories... it's kind of a wrapper, but around a whole language 
(Objective-C) instead of a library. Apple calls it a bridge. I'm not 
sure what the utility of having it available in JRuby would be, since 
most RubyCocoa apps are distributed as self-contained bundles which 
don't rely on an interpreter being already present on the end user's 
machine, but it'd be neat to see it.

Other than that, ruby-debug and ruby-prof, same as everyone else.
