Also--perhaps using an event based interpreter... again, just
brainstorming. But it works great for Tk.
A majority of this does seem to exist. The only area I'm aware of that
is lacking in ruby right now is the Geographic libraries (which I would
be interested in if anyone knows of some). Aside from that, I think
that a little work could be put into a chosen set of libraries to make
them work together more easily, and you'd have a pretty powerful set of
tools. Integrating anything written in pure ruby wouldn't be hard most
of the time since ruby is pretty lax about typing.
A fairly powerful command line environment could be built with a few
extensions to ruby's irb.

What exactly are you thinking of? I wrote some basic stuff to parse
Tiger/Line Census data a while ago. Is that the idea?

i also would love to see that kind of thing. a binding to
would be most excellent.

Tiger/Line Census data is good, actually I might bug you later to see
that. I was thinking of bindings for things such as:
http://geos.refractions.net/
And perhaps for ShapeLib(?) as well. I think that would be quite
useful. Maybe we should start a different Ruby/GIS tools discussion
though

shall i add you to the sciruby wiki?

that'd be a good place to start a collection of ruby gis ideas...
