see a ton of Rubyists talking about Elixir and Node.js as somekind of wholesale

\"selftext\": \"Hi there,\\n\\nI started learning Ruby a few months ago and
|
2529
|
+
I bought myself a Microsoft Kinect Cam as an early X-Mas gift. Of course I'm
|
2530
|
+
using Linux (yes your OS-X is fine too) and don't even own an X-Box 360 ...
|
2531
|
+
so I started the hacking.\\n\\nAfter a short time of fiddling with C, I remembered
|
2532
|
+
how much it tends to get on my nerves and how much I love Ruby, so I thought
|
2533
|
+
\\\"**Why not write some Kinect stuff with Ruby?!**\\\". After a bit of googling
|
2534

I found exactly no other projects except\\n\\n---- [this one](http://openkinect.org/wiki/Ruby_Wrapper#Sample_Code)
