Update: 13 June 2006
Andreas has started a formal Ruby-DRMAA project:

…the DL based Ruby wrapper for shared DRMAA C bindings now has it’s own home page and CVS repository under

http://drmaa4ruby.sunsource.net/

my first version of a DRMAA binding for Ruby. Thanks to Ruby/DL it was
not necessary to use SWIG. Open issues are

  * assumes DRMAA 0.95 instead of DRMAA 1.0
  * memory leak due to JobTemplate destructor not yet functioning
  * a number of functions are not yet supported (drmaa_ps_job(),
    drmaa_control(), ...)

In related news, it appears that people are using and beginning to extend the Ruby-based SGE log-file analysis script mentioned previously on this site.
