Seems that you have a nice working plan:-) AFAIK, there're no
good quality open VST software our there, so you project should
have a great success. I also think Ruby is a very good platform
for this as it allows a great level of abstraction and iterative
way of building software.

As for me, I haven't done anything great in ruby yet. My biggest
project in ruby is the distributed task system, that we use for
our projects. It allows to submit jobs and track the status of
job in realtime, while the working processes (workers) could
attach to the bus and take tasks for execution. However, there
seems to be memory leaks in the system somewhere, which I'm still
trying to get rid of. So I may admit ruby isn't still quite
ready for 24x7 mode projects, or I can't write in ruby well:-)

Good luck with you projects! You can always ask for a help here.
