No, it is not another book by A.Christie. It is about Ruby.

There is some kind of bad karma around ruby-maemo combination. The interpreter itself is not in the extras repo - it is hosted on rubyx.co.uk. It means that no ruby-based package cannot be uploaded to extras - it just won't build (I tried).

The source code of ruby-hildon binding is not available anywhere (there were people looking for it already - no answer).

And, finally, no visible public activity.

Does anybody know how to contact Tom Swindell? I would love to get in touch with him, may be I could help in moving things to extras...

Thanks.

He's known as "alterego" on the #maemo IRC channel.

I suggest you forget about Ruby and move on.

I pretty much agree. It is one scripting language too many.

Everything above assembly is just too high level and makes stuff annoyingly simpler

Just for the record, there was a statement on IRC that ruby is going to appear in extras quite soon. Hurray!

If it's written on irc then it must be true.
