Using Thrift with Ruby
======================

Okay, I'll be honest. I learned Ruby by implementing the Thrift library in
Ruby and writing the code generator at the same time. I am not a trendy
web 2.0 programmer. Shit, I don't even know Rails. So if you care about Ruby
you will probably find that this is currently the least robust Thrift library
implementation. But there's plenty of time to improve it...

The source code for the Ruby library is designed for installation with the
Python-esque setup.rb utility, which is included here and redistributable
under the GPL license.

To install the Thrift Ruby libraries, become superuser and do:

ruby setup.rb config
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install

Alternatively, if you know more about Ruby than me, you can improve the build
and installation process and contribute them back to this project. Wicked.
