Why We Chose Rails to Build Gitlab

Haters gonna hate. Shopify, Stripe, Github, Gitlab, AirBNB, Fiverr, Bloomberg, Hulu, Kickstarter, Deliveroo, Zendesk, New Relic, etc etc etc.

How many more companies does it take to prove the point that Ruby/Rails is a viable option to base a company on?

Same with PHP and its frameworks (lots of haters comes from RoR side, isn't it?) So let's leave this aside :)

I agree, PHP is more than viable to build companies, and has proved it again and again. As did Ruby :) The fact that PHP isn't my favorite language is really besides the point. Those vocal Ruby/Elixir/Go/Node enthusaists who crap all over other battle tested stacks are very immature individuals.
