Just to throw in my 0.02EUR here: I don't think it's worth the effort 
(which I guess is huge) because Ruby's syntax *is* concise already.  If 
I got to decide I would rather see those efforts go into JVM based Ruby 
implementations and / or native threads.  But that's just my personal 
preference.

Kind regards
