It's not as if the whole emulator is written in ruby either

Ruby is very well known in Japan mainly. It is one of the main scripting languages there. It is gaining popularity very quickly in US as well. If I go look in my ports tree under FreeBSD, I see 194 ports starting with "ruby-", 135 starting with "py-" (python), and 798 starting with "p5-" (perl). It's not as unpopular as you think.
Anyway, If you've used any object oriented languages, Ruby should take very little time to learn (a day or so). It's also a great OO language to start with, as it's completely OO like Smalltalk.
Check it out.
