Ruby in Mint

Just a question that I had for a long time and finally decided to ask. The first time I ran LinuxMint, I noticed that it has Ruby (programming language) right out of the box. I was pretty amazed since Ubuntu doesn't have it. That was also one of the reasons I installed LinuxMint (I'm learning Ruby right now). So that got me thinking, there is probably a good reason why Ruby is in Mint. Maybe part of it is written in Ruby.

Is this true?

Do we have Ruby???
Python is there and is used in Mint

Well I went into synaptic to see what would happen if I uninstalled it, and it looks like amarok depends on it

It was installed as a dependency to Amarok I guess. No mint tool use Ruby yet.
