There's something to be said for writing the client and server app using the same language. Node.js serves a similar use case.

Say you have a function that validates a file written in ruby. Now you want to have client side validation in the browser for good UX. The spec for validation may be complicated or you are not sure about the implementation (no docs, person that written it just left). This is internal format with no good parsing library. I'd try it out.
