Decent ruby developers are usually in high demand these days. If you are looking for someone to do a prototype and get paid crap ( which is basically what you are saying ), then I wouldn't be so selective about the language and just find anyone who might possible have those skills you want.

On the other hand, if I'm decent developer w/ great communication skills, why would I build your prototype when I could go out and get better paying work?
