This is one of the most wonderfully geeky things I have ever seen. The analogy to golf is exceptionally well-drawn, too! It might be entertaining if you developed the parallel even more, perhaps by adapting some of The Rules of Golf to your project.

'Golfing' different languages has been around for some time.
No discredit to the site though, certainly happy to have Vim golfing join the ranks.
The people submitting scores of 4 are probably just adding macros to their .vimrc

Not sure what you mean, as the vast majority of Ruby developers I know use OS X. Ruby works out of the box on Snow Leopard. Or try Homebrew. Or RVM.
I'm running an MBP received a clean install of the first Snow Leopard release and has subsequently gone through the normal system updates. On this system, and the previous one that was running 10.5, I've never managed to get RubyGems updated successfully.. hence, when I try to gem install vimgolf, it tells me that I need rubygems >=1.3.6. I guess I'm just failing as a hacker and missing something obvious. Grr. Well,…
Lets see, for the simple text editing: qa/vim yypjddq@a@a so 18.

Just mercifully ignore OSX-shipped Ruby and go with Ruby from ports, homebrew, vanilla-source install. Or just use RVM.
I'm going to sorely miss it when I start working in other languages again.
