I have been pretty happy with Java and .NET frameworks, regardless of the lack of appeal in SV influenced circles.

Happiness doesn't always translate into performance, e.g. famous Twitter logo until they moved into JVM and Scala.

While Ruby on Rails took the fame, we already had similar experiences with AOLServer and Vignette, using Tcl.

We had our own variant at a Portuguese startup, and eventually the founders created OutSystems, one of the first graphical RAD tools for Websites and distributed systems development in low code/no code, targeting JVM or CLR infrastructure.

Now having said all of this, it is great to finally see CRuby getting a JIT in the box.
