I'm surprised I haven't heard to that gem. I would assume that adding Duktape as another supported runtime to execjs would be possible.

It's what power the coffeescript and uglifier support in Rails.

You may not have heard of it, but you likely used it.

If someone publishes a ruby-duktap c extension, I'll definitely get that supported in ExecJS.
