Looks like the repo hasn't been updated in over a month. This project looks interesting. Anyone know if this is still being developed?
In fact, every crate I can find in this category (Helix, ruru, rurust, mrusty, and ruby-sys) is looking a little abandoned. rurust was updated 25 days ago, and that's the most recent.
I think ruby-sys was originally built into ruru, then separated out. Based on comments in PRs, I think the -sys convention is for Rust crates that map 1-to-1 to other languages C apis. Then, packages such as ruru create something more easy to consume and program against.
