perl, python, ruby are 'huge', and distributing them with tex is a problem; lua is 'made for embedding' and adds less that 100k to the binary: lean and mean; i love ruby, but it's a big machinery.
Anyway, once we have lua in place, there will also be an api to tex's internals; when that is done, interfacing to ruby should be no problem. Maybe our next project will then be a
.tex (dot tex)
framework -)
