Yes, and yes.

I'm unable to reach any of the Web resources I know that 
discuss this point, but, yes, Ruby's fine for embedding
and extending--quite comparable to Python, in fact.

Somebody built a vim with Ruby as an extension language.
There are more serious examples, even, although I can
think of no specific ones just now.  The regular c.l.r
denizens surely can do better.
