Python support is already planned. It would be really cool to be able to
develop XUL or Intranet web applications with client side Ruby as well.

Indeed. I'm waiting for the days where I can write cross-platform
application using just Ruby and YAML. No Javascript please (Python is
better, but it's definitely not Ruby). No XML please. (XUL will be
layered so we can write descriptions using YAML). Did I say No XML please?

It's really quite painful right now creating "regular" desktop
applications using Ruby, especially on Win32 (no OS threads, no
mature+complete GUI toolkit).

Aided with future goodies like native win32 PostgreSQL and Parrot/Ruby2
VM, I think I'll have no traces of inferiority complex when being
around my fellow .NET/Mono junkies

Having ruby supported would be cool indeed. I guess the only need is people wanting to do it
