Subject: Re: Ruby and inline C or C++

Is this conceptial or real?  

Ruby could be used as a macro language for real ($$ professional)
code.  This would make writing testing tools and prototypes easy and
viable using Ruby.  No doubt, this would bring Ruby into the fold of
professional development shops much quicker.

I'm with you, I have to invent hobby projects to use Ruby at this
point.  All our work is in C++.  Something like this would make Ruby
immediately useful for us.  Ruby's embeded API hasn't worked for me,
and writing extensions takes too much time to justify for the uses we
have for it.

Can this be done?
