MRuby is a lightweight Ruby. It was created by Matz with the purpose of having an embeddable version of the language. Even if it just reached the version 1.0, the hype around MRuby wasn’t high. However, there are already projects that are targeting Nginx, Go, iOS, V8, and even Arduino.

The direct competitor in this huge market is Lua: a lightweight scripting language. Since the version 2.6.0 Redis introduced scripting capabilities with Lua.
