It would be nice if Ruby was one of the permitted languages.

Right? They're alienating a very large developer community.

I tried to send them an email about ruby support and the typo on their compilers page but their email form doesn't even work. I take this to be way too amateurish and scam-like.

"very large" and "very loud" are two different things. I'm sure you'll take exception with any metric that shows Ruby to be a less common language but

In a website for programming challenges, the market status of a language should be the least regarded metric to decide whether to include it or not.

Just check this out: http://projecteuler.net/languages

What about the infamous TIOBE Index? http://www.tiobe.com/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html There should be atleast 3 other languages before ruby then ;)

The rails ecosystem moved to github bringing along the community. Ruby eggs, one basket.
