Why not keep using PHP and experiment with new languages on smaller and less critical services?
1 comments

Yes, we tried it already and we have certain sinatra/rails based services, but it's causing difficulties for the developers new to ruby and those who've recently come in and been working only on ruby, since they know only part of the stack. So we stuck to the PHP version and are averse to diversifying our code base into multiple languages.
