  3) Needs to come bundled with a larger slice of the RAA. 
  4) Needs a "ship standalone installer + ruby + myapp + modules my app 
     uses" thing.
  5) Needs a better cross platform GUI/OS layer, bundled standard.

Still, none of the above stops me from advocating Ruby as my language of 
choice...

If I were to prioritise that list I would say :-
  1) bundle more of the RAA with the standard package,
  2) and create a standalone installer thing that would 
     allow trivial installation of Ruby programs. ie. Telling users to first d/load 
     and install vx.y.z of Ruby and Vxi.yi of RAA package_i where i goes 
     from 1 to lots doesn't work!
