I agree, it would be nice if ruby could be used locally on the client as
seamlessly as javascript.

In the meantime there is a project called http://www.kavascript.com/ which
provides a way to write psudo ruby, run it through a compile step and
generate javascript. This would probably only work for standalone javascrip=
t
files and not embedded javascript. I don't know whether the benefits
outweigh the extra compilation step, but it is worth a try to see. I can't
comment further on the robustness of this project, nor have I used it yet
myself, but if you try it out maybe you can post something back to the list
about your experience.

Blessings,

Jeff
