I'm glad someone else is coming with a solution other than maven. Maven is one complicated beast.
And this is why having the main Ruby gem repository completely open source rocks :)
why is it in Ruby?

As opposed to, say, Clojure or Scala ?

Because the finished, mature, best in class ruby implementation is completely open source and is just sitting there for anyone to adopt, right now?

No need to re-invent the wheel. : )

Why write it in Clojure, as opposed to, say, Scala or JRuby?
I don't get it. The FAQ implies they aren't using jar files, so are they providing a custom classloader instead? If they inherited multiple-version support from rubygems, how do they know which version I want visible?
