First off, I think Ruby is a very nice scripting language.

Yes, I think so!

Well, what sort of type-checking do you want, Bryce? If you want
typed variable, I don't agree that. Because type-free variable is a
essential feature of scripting languages, I'm believing.

Shugo wrote Java interface for Ruby 1.1x.

Check it out.

You mean something like `dump' of perl? Such feature was
requested few times, but Matz don't planed to support that.
I think such feature is not bad for MS-Windows.

Maebashi-san's text editor mine-0.0.4 experimentally support it. It is
written in Ruby/Tk. Unfortunately, no English document is available.
Type `M-x simple-class-browser' on the mine window then you get entered,
where `M-x' stands for `META-x' but not for `ESC-x'.
