Nice. Obviously I didn't look too hard hence "doesn't seem to exist". My main point was against reimplementing something already extant just because you have a swathe of code in a given language.

Your point applies more to PSD.rb then - there was a lot of PSD readers in Python, C, C++ and C# for ages :)

But it seems that reimplementing worked very well for them: API, language and a good timing really matters.
