#Any moves out there to get Ruby imbeded in browsers?
#
#How about Ruby as a client-side scripting web standard? (Maybe it would
#have to be Ruby Light with the file accessors removed.)
maybe you can take a look at activescriptruby. though i can run it only on win ie, it may help you. it needs only one or two dll. The ff html eg runs great (i just tried it).
