Great points, solid advice - I can't thank you enough. You've given me a lot to think about and definitely helped stack a few chips in favour of Ruby.

I'm a lowly web designer with many ideas for web apps that I'd love to implement/see implemented. Thanks again!

No worries! I wish you the best of luck, and hope to see the fruits of your labors posted on HN one of these days!
