  Basecamp.

    Basecamp supports Rails. Ruby is mostly developed by a community of Japanese developers.

      That supports OP's theory: Ruby wasn't mainstream before Rails.

      While this might have been true, it was that screencast and the rise of Rails that put Ruby on the map in the west.

    Basecamp is minuscule next to Google.

  Japan. With roots in Japan, Ruby was very popular throughout Asia in the earlier days of the language, before Rails. Granted, this support was perhaps more cultural than corporate. There's something to be said for a community that grows in your own backyard, has significant documentation in your native language(s), etc.
