I don't think you can argue that you personally don't care about ruby.

You wouldn't spend so much of your time reading and writing about ruby if you didn't care about it. You'd move to things you do care about.

Ruby, and scripting languages in general, are fast enough for the jobs they get used for. When they're not they get replaced.

Most of your comment is about what you think I think, and not a lot about metrics, data or examples where Ruby performs beyond my interpretation. I think that says a lot right there.
