Unless I'm mistaken the original request was to integrate

Project Sprouts has a Ruby Dependency, which seems to be true based on the
web site. I have strong reservations about adding something into the Flex
SDK that has a dependency to any server side platform.
Just to clarify something, Ruby is not a server side platform. It's a
programming language. You can run it on any computer. To run it, you
need to install the ruby interpreter (and some more stuff if you want
Gems). This probably doesn't really affect your point, but since
you've stated it twice now it's worth clarifying. Perhaps a more
correct statement would be "I have strong reservations about adding
something into the Flex SDK that has a dependency on any other
language or toolset."
It does not affect my point. But, as I understood it; most people use
Ruby today for the server-side of a web site (or other application). I
can install any given application server on my local machine, that
doesn't make it less of a server..
