Hi Richard, The Wt bindings to Ruby see very interesting. The one question I have, is how do the Ruby bindings lead to an efficient way to share source code with Ruby and C++. For example, if I created a nice Image gallery widget in C++ which is used in a production C++ application, how would I instantiate the same widget in Ruby without having to maintain two separate code bases? Or vice versa, if I create a widget in Ruby::Wt, how can I leverage that work in my C++ code?
Another example may be to create a nice data grid and use it in all of my Rails and C++ applications. I am trying to find a way to have two separate development teams and projects become more Wt centric and to gain efficiencies without completely rewriting existing code bases. I would like to spend some time using your Ruby bindings. It looks like a great addition to the Wt ecosystem.

There are Wt::Ruby ruby bindings for Wt which integrate well with Rails in that they make it easy to use ActiveRecord and other Rails libraries with Wt. The project is hosted on github: http://github.com/rdale/wtruby/tree/master Or download a tarball from here: http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtruby/ -- Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
