Hmm, Ruby is not originally designed for mobile devices, since it has
much bigger core than, say, Python, or Lua.  But devices are getting
more and more powerful.  I don't think we need to wait for no longer
than 4 years, to see JRuby run on our cell phones.

For your information, Ruby does run on mobile devices, namely on Sharp
Linux Zaurus.  Perhaps we could manage to compile it on Windows CE
Mobile as well.
