That's rather ironic considering that the creator of Ruby is Japanese. I mean, sure, Merb was created by EY people; Sinatra was created by a bunch of folks working for Heroku; and Rails was spearheaded by a legendarily foul-mouthed Dane, but none of those "trendy" web frameworks would've been possible without Yukihiro Matsumoto.

And so again, we have really sharp engineers producing great work, but it's just not "sexy" enough for web 2.0 startups on its own.
