  Yes, that's correct. Ruby is much more widely known that Rails, although I have the feeling that is changing. A few years ago Cookpad (http://cookpad.com/ http://cookpad.com/), a Japanese recipe site with millions of users, switched to Rails. That may be contributing to a change in awareness locally.
