I work in life sciences. I see Ruby used (a lot) for web development and not much else. Lots of Python, R, Perl, and Java as well as native binaries usually written in C and C++.

I see ruby occasionally in system administration and DevOps tooling but apart from puppet and homebrew there's nothing I would recommend to anyone who isn't already interested in going all-in on ruby development.
