Agreed. If we're completing the set of scripting languages there's plenty left out. A standalone meta-ruby layer that contains the runtime and pretty much every useful library sounds like a much better idea as the runtime and the libraries will be in a single place and incompatible changes can be done in a single move without having to co-ordinate multiple layers.
