How is Java any different than Ruby?   They both require you to install
their runtime.    And Ruby is just as cross platform, no?

If it's a performance issue Java is much faster than Ruby and would be the
better choice,  but not because of installation issues.     It's way easier
to develop with Ruby however,  the super high level language to beat them
all for ease of use.
