OK, that's why I've asked about library usage.

Io (prototype-only) looks cool, when you reading tutorials, guides and
examples. But I'm wondering, where "prototype-also" language (Ruby +
prototype.rb) can be more effective than "prototype-neither" (Ruby without
prototype.rb). It's completely possible that advanced prototype-orientation
(dynamic prototype changing and prototype-based lexical scopes) would have
no use in Ruby.
