Yeah, definitely. Hibernate is probably worth a cursory look at the source
and/or reference manual anyway to anyone implementing an O/R mapping tool.
If only because it actually works as promised and makes smart use of
run-time byte code enhancement. 

I'm still a complete nuby (and really have no business making this statement
- hey, it's Friday), but it seems like the dynamic nature of Ruby lends
itself easily to an AOP-style persistence framework.

I love Hibernate, but I think the hit of switching from ruby to java
might well outweigh the benefits it gives you. I'd love to see products
like Middlegen and Hibernate for Ruby.
