On: Decaf: Ruby in the Browser

It did happen long time. It just died because of lack of adoption.

<script> tag has a type attribute. IE used to (still does?) support Visual Basic as a script. See http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/vbscript_howto.asp

But even the combined might of IE and Microsoft (that was long time ago, when Microsoft and IE were mighty) couldn't get it broadly adopted so it's effectively dead.
