This is an attempt to embed the julia language in ruby. Actually, very basic julia types are converted to ruby objects.
[sudo] gem install jl4rb
Then, in a irb console:
require 'jl4rb' # => true
Julia << 'LOAD_PATH'Once you haved installed RDatasets package in julia.
require 'jl4rb'
Julia << 'using RDatasets'
# A multilines call
a=Julia << <<JLEND
iris=dataset("datasets","iris")
convert(Array,iris[2])
JLEND
# a is then a ruby object
p a
# another call
Julia << 'map(string,names(iris))'
