"Except that I doubt that anyone not using Ruby is going to install Ruby just to run this" I don't see why not. Most developers depend on tools written in a variety of languages.

You can use Compass/Sass with non-ruby projects. I do.

The custom "framework" system for Ruby and Python is a minor annoyance when you want to customize or upgrade them. Apple puts python in one place, the python community installers put it in another, and neither is where you'd install it on y
