I don't know, having to port your app to the next version of rails every year is quite expensive. My golang app however has not needed any porting to the next version for the past 3 years and the syntax and standard libraries are both easy to grasp and rock solid. Oh and the joy of deployment with golang. To each his/her own I guess. Also, if I were to pick a dynamic language, I'd probably go with node.js now.
