Give a developer a Ruby-based web framework, and they can run for a day without patching, but give them anything else - even Prolog on Punchcards - and they run for so much longer!

Stop today, and help recovering Ruby developers onto a better path!

Your attempt to drive developers to Ruby and Rails by playing the role of a typical ignorant anti-rails fundamentalist crusader will fail.
I'm not really sure I understand this sentiment. I understand that the Rails community has had a reputation in the past of being arrogant but why take joy in the growing pains of a development community? Why foster an "us vs them" sentiment in the general development community? My understanding is that we are all doing the same things, we just have chosen different ways to get there.
Enjoying your crusade?
