The Cradle systems engineering tool can now be complemented with an open source Ruby extension library. This software allows users to expand the capabilities of their Cradle systems engineering tool.
Ruby-Cradle is a Ruby extension library that is completely free and open-source. It is specifically designed for Cradle systems engineering Tool. The Cradle API is intended for static linking. Although it can also be used as a shared library, there are some issues that users can encounter.
For instance, it only allows one user to access the Cradle API at a particular time on a given system. If other users attempt to use it, they will encounter an error. There is also a short refractory period of about 10 seconds after shutting down a Cradle API application. During this time, any attempt to start another application will result in a connection error.
Despite these limitations, Ruby-Cradle works well. One thing to note is that it is licensed and provided under the terms of the BSD License.
