We will see. I can only say that in the very near future we will have
a Ruby IDE that is scriptable in LUA, Ruby and Python.

I have developed a nice almost LUA compatible C interface for Ruby and Python
during the last month. The Ruby emulation is almost cost free, but emulating
the LUA stack access for python objects has a litte additional overhead
but it's so much easier to work with instead of the native reference counting.
