Subject: Re: Ruby in Browsers?

I've toyed with the idea of writing a plug-in for web browsers that
allowed you to run "Ruby Applets." The most primitive idea would be to
just call the Ruby intepreter whenever it encountered a .rb download or
an <embed> or whatever the kids are using nowadays.

A more sophisticated version could provide some interface to the
browser objects. Security would be nice.

Is there any such project out there?
