RoR is clearly a better language

I'm not sure if you made a mistake here, but RoR is a framework. Ruby is a language. RoR shouldn't be compared to PHP. If anything, it should be compared to one of the many PHP frameworks out there.

I agree that there are a great deal of jobs for PHP, but I disagree that "It's where the jobs are." There are a great deal of jobs around for RoR.

Hey, I just replied to what the poster submitted. Sure rails is a platform and ruby is the languge. My arguement still holds, PHP has far more support and ruby is a better language. Same goes for platforms, PHP has far more options and ruby has few. IMO PHP wins because it has more resources. But as a languge i like ruby better. As for jobs, I didn't say there were none for rails/ruby, just that there are far more for php.

I wasn't disagreeing with your argument. I mainly just wanted to clarify a few things for the OP.

To be fair, where I am from PHP jobs outnumber Ruby jobs at a 10 to 1.
