1) When I use C language , I prefer to use Ruby's garbage
collector and string eprocessing engine through libruby.a. In this case 
I don't write ruby script but using Ruby library only. ( Can I say I am 
using ruby in this case? of course! )
I think it can be one of sophisticated programming styles. 

2) Now my company is thinking hard about having Ruby be the primary language 
for some tools in products. I think there are only very few 
companies that uses Ruby as production language.
 
Question) How many software-development companies are using Ruby as 
production language now?

see you
