If you don't wanna expose the source and you need to distribute the app, you should look for some "encryptor" if there is such a thing. Ruby is an interpreted language, at least 1.8.x. Either you decide to distribute the application as a plugin or a gem, you will need to distribute the source since those are the files that get executed. -- Leonardo Mateo.
