Hi Fjölnir ! I also started playing with Ruby for live coding but dropped the project in favor of Lua because of stability issues (the garbage collector made the music very rubato: fun but unusable). That was ruby 1.8.7, not MacRuby so the problems I had might not affect you.
Since your project is smaller then fluxus and thus easier to understand for a newbie like me, I'll steal ideas from your project to develop the shading engine in lubyk [1]... To the fluxus folks, I would love to use your engine (provided I can grok such an impressive project) but I want to avoid GPL code (please, not flames) and as you said, writing the engine can be fun and is a great way to learn. Thanks everyone for sharing !
