A bit ignorant of me but could someone tell me what the use case is? Is it for faster deploys or something? And also how does it work with gems?

  >A bit ignorant of me but could someone tell me what the use case is? You want to send a simple script / program to someone without telling them to install Ruby. For 99% of people around they world, including programmers, they will much prefer to double click on an executable rather than yet another instruction set to install and run the program.

      An above comment mentioned that the ruby binary was 19MB. There would be other runtime included, but it's probably under 50MB. Yes it's large, but some Android apps do very little and are much larger...
