RubyScript is what we need => efficient code, à la coffeescript, with a Ruby syntax.
There is some impedance mismatch between ruby & javascript semantics. Trying to hide this fact has a cost in terms of performance.
I would love to have some ruby syntax as long as it does not compromize the speed of my code.
There is a trend these days where syntax and semantics are becoming orthogonal, that's nice.
Hence GoScript, PascalScript, PrologScript, CppScript, SmallScript...
Thanks to sourcemaps the issue of the generated code readability has disappeared. Only the performance matters from now on.
Why not make a Ruby -> Coffeescript compiler, since they're a lot closer in the first place?
