One of our systems is based on Ruby/Rails. There are things that I like about it but in general I think there are better alternatives.

Pros:

* Code readability

* Concise syntax

Cons:

* Ruby doesn't perform as well as many other languages.

* There is a cultural tendency among Rails devs to rely on a large number of gems. This creates dependency hell, especially a few years down the line when some libraries are not actively maintained.

* Unicorn is not the easiest server to manage. However I have to admit that I haven't tried any alternative, there might be better servers in the Ruby world.

You accidentally put "readability" in the Pros column, fyi.
