Brian, The only sort of minifier worth its weight is one that does some sort of lexical analysis of the JS source tree. The best of breed at the moment is the YUI Compressor. It's not Ruby, it's Java and uses Mozilla's Spidermonkey, but that should hardly matter. Have a look at this talk<http://www.slideshare.net/nzakas/extreme-javascript-compression-with-yui-compressor>for a good understanding of exactly what it does and what is involved when you want a proper JS "minifier".
