I have been thinking that with the simplicity of DragonRuby it would be really cool to add some simple networking in the same style as the rest of it. like args.network << {hash of interesting things like the target and so on} that would just-work. Simple websocket communications. If I can dream :)
I will probably do my next small project also in DR.. I really love how simple it is and as a quite experienced developer (just not in games) it fits my way of thinking since it's "just programming" and not a complicated engine to learn. If I want to make the project in any of the engines I actually don't know where to start. In DR there is no such question. Just boot up emacs and start coding...
