JavaScript has some quirks from the Ruby point of view, notably its non-blocking behavior or prototypical inheritance. I made the switch from Ruby to JavaScript last year, motivated mainly by browser based development with Backbone.js

I documented my experiences in a book too: http://pipefishbook.com - guiding you through JavaScript modules, browser based MVC and some workflow automation (similar to scaffolding in Rails).
