I didn't strike out on my own to write in a language that doesn't make me happy, with thousands of over-engineered libraries that don't do anything I want to do, that's owned by a company that's running around suing people.

After a certain point, there's a base of libraries that is Large Enough. I've never really been wanting with Ruby, at least not in the 'oh, but there's this Java library that does exactly what I want' sense.

Even then, JRuby would make it Just Happen, or maybe even SOA.
