  • ruby-vips

    Ruby extension for the libvips image processing library.

  • Nokogiri

    Nokogiri (鋸) makes it easy and painless to work with XML and HTML from Ruby.

    About the C-extensions, I'd be curious on what it takes to build extensions using C, and a study around how nokogiri solved the yearlong issue of install-then-compile by shipping arch-based precompiled binaries, and how this should become more of a standard in the ruby community for gems requiring extensions.
