Homebrew could work around the lack of pre-installed Ruby by updating the installer to include the proper version of Ruby where Homebrew expects to find it - thanks to using an install script, Homebrew isn't actually the worst off. What gets hit especially hard are command-line programs that DON'T use installers, written in one of the affected languages.
Homebrew's creator commented on this on Hacker News. Unfortunately I can't find it but the solution is basically that they will add ruby to their installation process. A homebrew forum leader addressed it here.
Actively maintained projects will be fine. The ones who aren't will break unless you install the runtime you want yourself.

As long as homebrew works your scripts are fine, because you can do "brew install ruby" (or rbenv if you need more control).
yeah exactly my point, but homebrew itself is written in ruby
