Ruby isn't a web client side scripting language pre-se.
Java, Javascript and Actionscript would be the only standard web client-sid=
e
scripting languages (vbscript is also implemented in IE which has a VERY
large market share, so you might add it to the list).

But some very wise people from the Rails developement group have created
RJS, a templating language that enables translation of Ruby code to JS code
- so one might in a way use Ruby as a client-side scripting language for th=
e
web.
