Re: [ANSWERED] why gvim requires ruby and python?

Like any other package with dependencies, gvim is compiled against the python and ruby libraries for plugin support.  This satisfies 90% of users.  If it does not suit you, that is what ABS is for.  Feel free to rebuild it yourself with less features (also note that you will lose omni completion for both those languages, among other things).
