Hi Robert,

There is currently no plan about implementing the FFI API in MacRuby. It was my plan originally but apparently the API is not really used, so I preferred to support C extensions instead, which will be in the next release, 0.6.

This being said, patches are always welcome :)

And that brought me onto my question, will FFI be distributed with MacRuby whenever it becomes a little more stable? I think it'd be a great addition if a fully-featured FFI library was apart of MacRuby.
