Sounds cool, but RubyOSA doesn't actually work on my machine. Ruby shows up
in the list of dialects in Script Editor, but choosing it has no effect (we
are still running in AppleScript, so Ruby scripts won't compile). And in
Script Debugger it doesn't show up at all.
Incidentally, Perl, TCL and lua don't show up even in Script Editor.
