Hi.

I would like to embed ruby interpreter into my C application, but I  
can't find any info on this ☹ Chapter in pickax book is very small and  
doesn't provide enough information. I've also found couple of embedding  
libraries via google, but they all are outdated or not documented.

So the question is: are there any comprehensive documents on embedding  
ruby interpreter and interacting with it?

There probably isn't.  
Here's my shot at it:
