I'm very interested to listen you when you've some insights to share about
using Ruby as a prototype language (to get a basic desing "right", as you
said, or maybe you didn't mean this). Especially the point when you convert
part of the Ruby code to C(++/# :). I'm eager to see if you (have to) use
your proto as a throw-away code or more as a hacked-together framework,
which is then speeded up part by part.
