Seems I need to actually make a try on using these libraries.

In general I feel it hard to justify when everything is already 
implemented in Ruby. At some point I just want to use a language and the 
libraries without needing to reinvent the wheel. Back in 2006 when I 
started with D I had some idea for an application I wanted to build. But 
there were a lot of missing components (many still are), I still haven't 
started building that application.
