There should be at least two, both by me. I know I haven't given a 
formal introduction yet, but it's little more than a hobby project at 
the moment:

http://headius.blogspot.com/2008/03/more-fun-with-duby.html

The primary use case for Duby right now is "me", to use when I don't 
want to use Java but don't want to lose performance. The primary feature 
I see that makes this stand apart from others in the arena (Scala) is 
that I explicitly want it to have no runtime dependencies. It's a new 
Ruby-like syntax to produce JVM bytecode. The magic is all in the compiler.
