I come from the end of the universe furthest from Ruby. If I had access to a library, I'd use it. Now I have to go find one, port it, debug it, test it, review it, and deploy it. Or drop the feature. And if I have to go through the whole process here, I'm going to look at competing communications platforms, too. And as many folks have found, forcing an update or a port means some applications will be ported off your platform, too. This change within Twitter will derail at least some of those environments.
