The down side to that is that ruby is currently required to install Homebrew.

Could also just use bash to bootstrap an environment, like how RVM does.

There will be a .pkg for that, if there isn't already.

You already need Xcode to get Homebrew working, and that will most likely be the vector by which optional scripting languages will be installed.

Correction: you need the Xcode Command Line Tools, not the whole Xcode bundle.
