As many have said: YAML. This is one of Ruby's strength since of all the 
languages out there, YAML support is strongest in Ruby. Please, lots of 
examples and use cases: writing config files, replacing XML, 
dump/restore of data structures, and playing along with other languages.

And then there's wxRuby.

And of course we should mention RubyForge.

And, last but not least, lots more talk about Ruby2 please. Including 
possibilities for Parrot integration, how it [possibly] will change 
threads, String, etc. A rundown on the important/potential RCRs would 
also be juicy to read...
