Very early on someone submitted a half working ruby version. That did
services only if I remember correctly. I think its linked to from the
site someplace.

As for porting red5 to ruby.. I have thought about it but there are a
few reasons I don't think we should.

1. Ruby isn't the ideal language for this sort of server performance
wise. Don't get me wrong I love ruby (on rails) for webapps. Its just
not that fast for writing byte level servers.

2. Most people who use ruby these days would be after something to
plug into rails ( ie web server ). Now that means it would probably be
rtmpt only. Add to that the fact requests are proxied through apache
and we end up with remoting. The audio and video would probably work,
but wouldnt scale. Nicolas will probably do fine with haXe running on
his NekoVM as its faster and he is adding a JIT soon. Plus he seems to
be able to do anything he puts his mind to.

3. But most importantly.. JRuby.. Why port red5 to ruby when we can
run ruby in red5. It wont be long before RoR is running on the JVM. We
have some fun things to look forward to. Scripting will be added to
red5 shortly ( 0.6 ). I will add jruby and rhino and joachim is going
to add python support. By that time people will probably be deploying
RoR on java servlet engines and we can have a lot of fun pluggin it
all together.

So there you have it.

If you fance giving it a go.. by all means start hacking away. But
perhaps basic AMF support is needed before starting on RTMP.
