I'd rather keep off dependencies to other languages. Recently there were issues when compiling with the ruby option -- iirc, it was required for Command-T or some other plugin. Some version of ruby was required which was not compatible with the latest stable version of vim. Something like that. Also, won't this slow down startup ? (I know lua is fast). Also, lua is not even part of any default install, to my knowledge.

I'd do too. I didn't time it, but i am perceiving/imagining a huge difference when starting vim after recompiling without ruby- and python.
