Subject: Re: Ruby in Browsers?

I wouldn't be interested in getting browser manufacturers to include
the plug-in immediately. It would be rare to get something that would
have a hard takeoff like that. The idea would be to do something
similar to Java and the Java plug-in. If people like it then they use
it. If they don't, then whatever. If it get's popular, then maybe the
browser manufacturers would include it.

In cases where a person has control over such things they could use
Ruby and the Ruby plug-in instead of Java. In other cases, use Java or
something that the browser manufacturers include automatically. I just
thought it would be a cool idea. It seems possible. It would be one way
to escape from Java hell.
