This document discusses using Ruby code in the browser through a Ruby to JavaScript compiler called Opal. Opal allows you to write Ruby code and compile it to JavaScript, enabling the use of Ruby concepts and syntax directly in web applications. Some key points covered include how Opal maps Ruby concepts like self, nil, and truthy values to their JavaScript equivalents, a demo of a calculator application built with Opal, and answers to common questions about whether and how Ruby and JavaScript can interact when using Opal. Benchmarks are also mentioned comparing performance of Ruby code compiled to JS versus interpreting Ruby directly in the browser.
