100% I agree with you. It is true. But my points are
1. The hacker know about my application already and he had played with 
it in his PC.
2. When he accesses another PC he founds that the user also uses the 
same application.
3. Now he changes the code which is in .rb format.
4. I believe the hacker won't think of re-engineering the compiled code 
or the .exe one for 99% of times.
5. If it is .rb it will be easier for him to do.
6. The java executable would be .class files which are compiled and 
harder to read by human unless re-engineered.

So is there anything available in the case for .rb files?
