Ruby got them customers within the bounds of their time and money budget so it did its job. Nothing in the post suggests they have regrets about it but it would be interesting to hear from them.

Without Ruby we couldn't have build lots of features with such a tiny team. We don't regret and we are not replacing Ruby entirely (just few parts)

85% of our server codebase is still Ruby.

When Ruby can't solve your business problems -> wrong choice. If it can solve your business problems -> wrong choice to move to Go.
