Boost.Python equivalent for Ruby?

Does something like Boost.Python exist for Ruby?

Couple of similar, now aborted projects, were mentioned
on this newsgroup but perhaps I miss something new.

(I know about C extensions and SWIG.)

When asking questions like this, it's probably worthwhile giving a
two or three sentence overview of what Boost.Python is/does.
Less useful would be a URL. I'm already busy enough not to
go looking for extra information to try to figure out someones
question unless it really scratches an itch or fires my
imagination.

C++ library for gluing Python and C++ together. I'm told it's fantastic.

At the moment SWIG is probably as close as it gets to boost.python.
It seems to me that there's a lot of overlap between SWIG and
boost.python, but it seems the latter (I haven't used boost.python,
but I have used SWIG) is more python-centric.

Another approach would be to use Rubyinline:

What are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks, I'll play with it.

What I am looking for is the ability to
subclass C++ classes in a scripting
to allow quick experimenting
and with simple way to conver them to C++.
