Question

Are there any frameworks/wrapper out there that gives us rubyish javascript?

Instead of the usual for() {} loop gives us the object.each {} loop like in Ruby?

Since javascript could be used in web browsers I do want to use it for the server side too, but I do like ruby syntax far more.

The Prototype library, having been developed by guys very close to Ruby on Rails, has a very Ruby-ish feel. It uses Ruby lingo (like mixins); for instance, the Enumerable mixin (which Prototype mixes in to arrays by default) adds the each method to an array, so you can do this:

["sample", "array"].each(function (item) {
    console.log(item);
});
