Subject: Ruby and PalmOS

I recently read an article on Ruby in Linux Magazine and have since done
some poking around Ruby documentation.  Would it be possible to use Ruby
to create a PalmOS program?  All of the PalmOS libraries are in C, but
they're a pain to use and it seemed to me like the object oriented
nature of Ruby might be an ideal wrapper for doing quick and dirty
PalmOS programs.  On the other hand, as far as I know, Ruby is an
interpreted language, so the Palm device would have to have a Ruby
interpreter onboard to be called to run the aforementioned program.

Is there a way to have Ruby compiled into a stand alone PalmOS program,
or would I have to port the interpreter to PalmOS?

Just curious.

Regards,
Mark Norton
