Actually, based on the comments by Anil, I would dismiss them almost
entirely out of hand. "Insufficient development" is -- as we on this list
know -- utter crap. Just because the Ruby community doesn't generally "karma
whore" the way that the Perl and Python community does at /. doesn't mean
that there's slow or "insufficient" development. I mean, the claim that the
"best" web project is a WebObject/JSP/ASP "replacement" doesn't recognise
that there are dozens of approaches to web development and doesn't recognise
any of the outstanding projects out there (Amrita, Webrick, the various
wikis and blogs, Borges, etc.).
Further, the claim that Ruby took its syntax from Python and then added
Perlisms is utterly ludicrous. I personally find Ruby syntax *nothing* like
Python syntax, the latter being far less clear. It also suggests that the
writer has little experience with any OO language. His suggestion that Ruby
allows more obfuscated code is contrary to every experience that every
person who has actually done *any* development in Ruby.
Not only that, he ignores the (behind-the-times, but extant) JRuby in favour
of his Python/Jython preference. No, the author of this rant doesn't know
anything about Ruby and it shows in spades.
In answer to Phil's friend's questions directly:

SOAP4R. It's apparently as complete as most other SOAP implementations, but

IMO, I didn't "get" XML development until I started playing with REXML,

Some libraries may also be "complete."

Beyond RubyInline, I think that something like Pyrex is needed in Python
because the C interface is nearly as ugly as that with Perl -- or so I'm
told. Ruby has a very clean C interface, so such projects are less
necessary.

Look into Exerb for Windows. There's even a GUI for it now.
