Since Ruby and Rails are completely open sourced, there are no backdoors involved.... But every now and then some critrical bugs occur.
After all the fun we had with the NSA lately, and the stories of eg. skype calling home with your (at least) https:// https:// links posted in the chat... Do you trust microsoft that every single piece of their softwarestack has no backdoors? Oh, and security patches for .NET are released regulary, so there are enough bugs, too.
This is my current opinion as you asked for it.
- tptacek 13y agoThat is a pretty uninformed and unhelpful opinion. Microsoft's code is the most heavily reverse engineered in the entire industry; code Microsoft ships is just about the worst possible place to sneak an NSA backdoor, since even innocuous weirdness is enough to generate a news story about it. If the NSA wants your server stack, they're going to use the hardware to get it. But the reality is, the NSA doesn't need to backdoor your servers.
