Ruby-IXP is an implementation of the 9P2000 protocol designed for use with Window Manager Improved. It is written in pure Ruby to avoid periodical calling of the wmiir command, thus improving performance. There is another full-blown 9P2000 implementation called Rstyx, but it's rather complex and slow.
