Subject: RE: REXML in C

Well, we talked to him about this exact thing at last year's Ruby
conference, and his initial need was a Ruby lexer/parser written in
Ruby...Robert Feldt was working toward this (and I was helping him by
writing unit tests) but that project seams to have stalled some time
ago.

David really seamed to like Ruby, and I think it would be a major win to
have the wonderful syntax and semantics of Ruby on a powerful VM like
AOS.
