Ruby has for some time had no equivalent to the beautifully constructed NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib libraries for Python.

We believe that the time for a Ruby science and visualization package has come and gone. Sometimes when a solution of sugar and water becomes super-saturated, from it precipitates a pure, delicious, and diabetes-inducing crystal of sweetness, induced by no more than the tap of a finger. So it is, we believe, with the need for numeric and visualization libraries in Ruby.

Other projects that we should keep an eye on

We have two lists of projects that we should keep an eye on, because they can be ported to Ruby or they already implement some scientific functionality.

• Scientific projects in Ruby - Library wrappers and others. We should avoid overlapping with them.
• External Software - Scientific software that can be useful to have in mind.
