Debian and Ubuntu do.

/sys is a virtual file system exported by the kernel. It shouldn't
depend on what distro you use, just the kernel.

does a full ruby perl and python packages exist for the distro?

For Debian or Ubuntu, yes.

Gentoo works really well on the Beaglebone too and those packages are available.
