  A billion flies can't be wrong. Just because it's used on almost every webpage, doesn't mean it's popular in the sense of being liked.

      Seriously asking here: what would you like more about Ruby as opposed to Javascript if they were in the same boat (i.e. if Ruby had client ubiquity, no systems frameworks, no major non-browser platform, etc)?

  It is certainly the most talked about at this point in time because of it's active competitive development and distribution. But popular? In what definition?
