[ale] Ruby for sysadmins?

[DJ-Pfulio]

Just saw an email for a RoR dev postition for "$100K+ and 0.25% equity"

Ruby pays well and it is one of my favorite languages. It is fun and for 20K
users or less, a no-brainer to use for webapps. Think internal enterprise stuff.
I just wish it wasn't quite so slow and that gem maintenance didn't suck so much
RAM.
