Ruby/Python - mixed language apps, and garbage collection

I couldn't find a more appropriate mailing list. I just have a couple of questions:

1) Can we add Python or Ruby classes to an existing Objective-C project? I can't find a sample that mixes languages. I tried adding some .rb files to my project, but they don't seem to be loaded at runtime. Is there a way to make this work (assuming mixing languages is supported at all)?

2) In the WWDC 2006 or 2007 slides there was a bullet about "Memory management does not work" and the vocal comment was that this was still being looked into. I didn't grasp the full consequences about this - was it saying no garbage collection for Python/Ruby programs at all? No garbage collection for mixed-language apps? Or just no GC on the Objective-C side of a mixed app? And, what is the current status of this rather important bullet?

Thanks,
Graham Perks.
