> To explain what I mean: you can't import a Ruby library into a Python program. Not to detract from your overall point, but there's actually a lot of Ruby <-> Python interop stuff out there. At one point I was playing around with importing C++ modules exported via boost::python to consume from Ruby (admittedly only for a toy project.) I'm not sure if I was using RubyPython[1] - searching google turns up multiple options. And I'm not sure how well any of them hold up in production. And then on the CLR there's both IronPython and IronRuby, which might play well together. [1] https://github.com/halostatue/rubypython (EDIT: A 4 emdashes long run on sentence? I can do better...)
