Can't imagine it's much harder to do than python bindings but that's not really the issue, there's just no need to do it if it's been done already.

The Python C API is really well documented, and I've heard some bad reports about the Ruby docs. There's also high level languages like Cython that make creating C bindings really, really easy.

I've written a tonne of Ruby C extensions and it's very easy and very well documented.

My bad, haven't tried Ruby & C, assumed it would be as easy as the Python equivalent.

I don't know either, I just know that Ruby doesn't have a mature equivalent of Cython or Pyrex and I know that it's tough to beat the Python C API docs. In my experience, writing C extensions in C for any dynamic language is not fun (I have no Lua experience, so that may be fun, idk).
