There was a post about this a while ago but that's pretty US-centric.

In Japan there is a lot of attention on Embedded Ruby (hence the performance improvements). 99% of the professional Ruby work that I've done here in NY is not Rails. I've done everything from webdev (Jekyll, Sinatra), ETL work, to systems engineering all in Ruby. I've toyed around with Ruby & SDL but the performance at the time (4 years ago) was not good.
