Recent posts have blasted ruby for not scaling and/or being difficult to deploy. Maybe it's better to realize that it doesn't have the deployment or scalability characteristics of Java or PHP, and recognize its sweet spot.

This post just doesn't add anything add all. Some vague assumptions are made without any examples or facts....

A Rails post without the fanboy attitude, amazing. It was actually readable but the gist of it is, use the right tool for the job.

I'm curious what the scalability comparison will be like once the Ruby interpreter is replaced with better implementations (many in the works, I find Rubinius to be the most interesting but JRuby will almost certainly yield better results sooner). Threading, VM, JIT/HotSpot, all make such a difference...at one point, Java was the relatively inefficient newcomer with a higher focus on developer productivity.
