Meet with other Computer Music Technologists and Ruby developers for a hack session and discussion about developing Audio APIs for the Ruby programming language. The focus of this hack session will be on identifying, extending, and using existing libraries in Ruby.

Ruby has emerged as a concise elegant language with an enthusiastic community and a superb object model well suited for meta-programming and creating domain specific languages (amongst other things). In the last year there has been an explosion of support for Ruby from Microsoft (Silverlight, IronRuby), Apple (RubyCocoa and bundling Ruby and Rails with Leopard) and Sun (JRuby) as well as the promising Rubinius Ruby virtual machine.

Likely avenues of exploration for this hack session are:

- Interfacing with Max/MSP with jRuby and externals(?)

- Using OSC from Ruby to control audio applications: 

--- An existing ruby OSC library can be found here:

- Building a Ruby wrapper for VST plugins

This event will be hosted at Interanut. Bring your laptops for trying things out and show and tell.
