Then port Ruby.

In my case, that was (a few years ago!) to linux-on-iPAQ, which made it
rather straightforward (dev environment remotely & publicly offered by
handhelds.org or cross-compilation toolkit provided by the same nice ppl)

On limited CPUs in embedded environments, Ruby's performance may matter.
Moore and YARV will help :)
