As someone who is trying to wean himself off of .NET I'd say Ruby isn't exactly the best choice out there. I could jump over to any JVM language (even hip ones)

As someone who is trying to wean himself off of .NET I'd say Ruby isn't exactly the best choice out there. I could jump over to any JVM language (even hip ones) or convert into a Pythonista. Ruby is hardly efficient and with better(and efficient) alternatives out there I wonder why do people still flock to Ruby/Rails.
