If you want to be pedantic and get into a debate nothing is really ruby as the language lacks a spec the best definition of Ruby we have is acts kinda like MRI 1.8.
Also, most browsers don't run really run Javascript, they run ECMAscript or JScript. It's really jQuery converted to bytecode/assembly/C on SpiderMonkey/JagerMonkey/V8/Nitro. Sure you can create a high performance web server, but that's not really what V8 was meant for.

- steveklabnik 16y agoJust so you know, you can only be a pedant for a little while longer; Ruby is currently being made into an ISO standard. Not to mention RubySpec, which all major implementations are working to conform to. Even though that's built off of "What MRI/YARV do"...
