What is natto?

natto combines the Ruby programming language with MeCab, the part-of-speech and morphological analyzer for the Japanese language.

natto is a gem bridging Ruby and MeCab using FFI (foreign function interface)
No compiler is necessary, as natto is not a C extension
It will run on CRuby (mri/yarv) and JRuby (jvm) equally well
It will work with MeCab installations on Windows, Unix/Linux or Mac OS
natto provides a naturally Ruby-esque interface to MeCab.
