First of all I would like to thanks every one who works on this great 
project and especially Manuel for his great job.
I used to write C/C++ to handle process and threads up to gui in a 
linux environement ( qt / gtk ).
I worked on a php intranet project months ago and nowadays I do more 
sysadmin with sometimes a bit php ( basics tasks ).
As far as I can read Jesse your are a great fan of OCaml. I don't know 
this language but on my spare time I try to learn Ruby.
What do think of Ruby ? Could it be a challenger of OCaml for m0n0wall ?

Thanks
