Subject: Re: rubynuby - client side Ruby?

Hi,

Unless you are planning on developing for an intranet where you'd  
have COMPLETE control over the clients' configuration, I very much  
doubt that it would be a good idea to use Ruby instead of Javascript.

I am also not quite sure there are browsers out there which implement  
Ruby as a scripting language, or if it's even possible to write an  
extension for  Mozilla/Netscape that adds Ruby support to the client  
(but I might be wrong).

I googled about it a little while ago, and didn't find it!
