1. Are you at all open to any kind of gradual shift toward a dynamic

Development of ArX will probably stay in C++ simply because I want to
offer a single binary download (we're not there yet, but I don't want
to preclude it). Depending on another language will make it more
difficult to install. In any case, I am not convinced that depending
on any language is a sticking point. After all, Monotone seems to be
doing all right with C++, and Darcs is certainly doing fine with an
even more obscure language.
I agree.
But, I think that a utility of a high level should be developed in
dynamic language(GUI or ViewARCH like browser).
However, I have considered switching over to python, mostly because of
the hassles with networking. Unfortunately, it looks like it would
take a lot of effort to get to the point where there would be any
returns.
If I was able to use binary distribution such as arx or gnome-vfs,
I think that it is not necessary to switch to python because it
was not necessary for me to experience a trouble.
2. Do you have any existing strong feelings about Ruby, positive or
negative?
I am japanese, so I like Ruby :-)
But, I do not know a ruby so in detail. I have made a slight program.
