One of the coolest ruby projects since a good while.
When two important projects like Shoes and Opal meet and cooperate for a third unexpected goal, it is like when the results of two different equations are used to compose a third one, and as in mathematics this process it's beautiful for a number of reasons.
Let's hope for the best as this is one of those projects that can bring a lot of spotlight on Ruby, which is needed for the language to grow.
