Scientific modules for Ruby

I've been using quite a number of Python modules such as Numpy in large machine learning projects. Previously, I used Django for the web application and mod_wsgi as a front end to these. Now, someone is making the case to transfer to Ruby on Rails. Are similar libraries available for Ruby?

As Benjamin Tan pointed out, SciRuby is working on this. Commenters rightly noted that not much work has been done on the sciruby gem, but NMatrix is under extremely active development. The goal is to replace NArray.

There are also quite a few stable gems associated with SciRuby: Statsample, distribution, minimization, integration, Rubyvis (a Ruby port of Protovis), and so on.

SciRuby actually just got Google Summer of Code support, too, and a grant from the Ruby Association a few months ago, so we're hopeful that it will go places.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the lead developers for NMatrix and a co-founder of the SciRuby project.

The closest would be SciRuby.
