Sorry, this is false. I'm a Java developer who became a Ruby developer who became an SRE. Ruby is far easier to deploy and use than Java or (in my limited experience) Golang, specifically because it has a single, mature, sane packaging system i.e. bundler. Only Elixir + hex come close to the ease of packaging with bundler. The only time you need to compile gems is if you're shipping ones with native extensions - and there are enough alternatives available that you shouldn't need to use gems with native C extensions. If you're running ruby on a modern web server - like puma - it will scale far further than your architecture will likely permit without redesign.
