Actually, as stated on Coffescript's wiki[1], there are many other implementations of ruby on JS:
* HotRuby Runs opcode, compiled by YARV on Ruby inside a web browser or in Flash.
* rb2js Converts Ruby to JavaScript.
* Red Writes like Ruby and runs like JavaScript
* Quby Used for game coding site, not open source.
* Opal Ruby to Javascript compiler.
It seems interesting that nobody has tried to use Rubinius (which tries to implement Ruby in Ruby) to leverage any of these implementations, possibly reusing a JIT mechanism.
