I wish we had an accurate spec for Ruby. RubySpec project is great, but we still let the language be defined in terms of MRI implementation.

Sun started the trend when Guy Steele and Gilad Bracha (among others) wrote the initial Java Language Specification. Microsoft has a strong team of PL researchers, including Mads Torgersen and many people at MSRC (who published a paper on formalizing Async in ECOOP 2012), to do this work, which I think is very useful.
