I guess that anybody not versed in Ruby would first have to understand a lot of Ruby details first. The author mentions other efforts relatively similar to his, in other languages, like http://gitlet.maryrosecook.com/docs/gitlet.html http://gitlet.maryrosecook.com/docs/gitlet.html which is node JavaScript.
