I use Ruby and I love this language, truly. I wrote my framework, play with Sinatra, and so on, like you. But we are in hacker news and are in some way a closed ring of people a bit smarter than the average programmer.
Then there is the mass of programmers that could witch from PHP to something better. All they want is a mod_please_make_ruby_simple that is, like mod_php but for Ruby. You install it on Apache, and all the pages called .rhtml will get executed with the trick of things outside <? ?> being translated into echos.
This module should also provide, automagically and built-in, support for all the obvious stuff like file uploads, MySQL bindings and so on.
I understand that PHP got this right for the masses, but can't understand why no one is trying to do it the right way for other much more powerful and elegant dynamic languages.
