Yeah I kinda knew I'd regret mentioning any specific feature of ruby that one in particular. Anyway it doesn't matter. The point was that they presumably have identified certain things ruby does well for them and have invested heavily in them. If ruby does other things less well then abandoning ship for an unknown set of tradeoffs is a riskier move than improving the specific weaknesses that are their obstacles. What ruby's inherent strengths are or even if they exist at all doesn't matter as much as their investment and expertise in them does.
