So here is my story:

- Discovered Ruby 6 months ago after 8 years of Perl. Liked it a lot
- Discovered GNUstep Environment recently. Liked it as well

GNUstep (GNU implementation of the OpenStep specs) has much less press
these days than Gnome or KDE but still has a lot to bring I think
(simplicity and elegance)

GNUstep is all developed in Objective C which is fine with me but beside
that they have adopted Guile as their "scripting" language which I
personnally don;t like that much. Since Objective C borrowed most of its
OO concepts from Smalltalk I think having Ruby as an alternate high
level scripting language for GNUstep would be just great. Plus when you
read the specs of the 2 languages you realize that they fit nicely
together.

So I have 2 questions:

- Has anybody worked on that before (For those who are also on the
japanese mailing list, are you aware of anything on this side? )

- Has anybody tried to bind Objective C libraries in Ruby? Any
remark/hints/know pitfalls on that?

And finally, anybody interested in this project, please let me know.
