Molecular visualization in Ruby?

Anyone created any kind of molecular visualization software in Ruby?
Something like PyMol, but much simpler (I only need ball & stick, don't need
any protein visualization stuff)... scriptability (in Ruby, of course) would
be nice as would the ability to output in postscript or jpeg.

I've used a combination of Ruby and gnuplot for protein visualization.
Maybe it'll do the trick for your molecules. But, no, we don't have
anything as nice as PyMol unfortunately.

Anything you can share?
I really don't need anything nearly as complex as PyMol - just ball&Stick.
