Goodday Mr.Matthew !
Will you be the frontrunner in  arousing the ambition and the kindness to make D
and ruby inter-operable ?
please take a look here
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/ (the 'extending ruby' link)

Obliged,
the Novice fellow.

It is something I'd *very much like to do*, but I have so much on my plate at the moment, and so many (non-commercial) deadlines are slipping - the commercial one's have been taking precedence of late, naturally - that D-Ruby is not something I'd be able to look at until later next year.

ftr, I'm quite familiar with Ruby extensions - having written them for Open-RJ and recls. To do them for D we'd need to either (i) translate the Ruby extension headers into D, or (ii) write a mapping layer, such that a Ruby class written in D would plug into the Ruby infrastructure (in the context of C compilation with the extant (and changing!) Ruby headers) via a C-call API.

FYI: the link you give is the Prag Prog's book on Ruby, which I am fortunate to have in hard copy. They write good books. ;)
