Well, I'd like to kindly suggest that you think again about your assumptions, regarding why I was dismissive of Ruby. Ruby was still kinda/sorta new-school in 2013. Yet another technology stack as far as I could tell. Ruby was not quite a thing yet, back in 2008 or so. Probably because Rails was still pretty much somewhat "new." Back in 2008, I still had yet to learn that Ruby was a compiled language, and that Rails was a runtime environment for web applications. In corporate enterprise 401k cubicle farms, there were only hushed mentions of Ruby among hobbyists as early as autumn, 2009 (the first time I remember hearing tell of such a thing). And mostly among those who developed on Macs, which was actually a little bit rare back then. Ubuntu was similarly revolutionary at that time, even if LAMP stacks were well established.
