It could also be that they didn't want to hire you because you aren't a 'believer' in the technology (in that you're not already experienced with it).
They have doubled down on Rails, so if they hire people who aren't already in the ballgame, they will either be faced with people who want to change things (which creates conflicts) or have to train people to avoid the speed bumps in the existing system (which also pushes people to want to change things).
I'm curious, was your position during the interview that you were beyond excited to pick up Rails as your next technology?
Finally, you never know... their feedback might have also just been a kinder let down... maybe they didn't feel your programming chops were up to their required level. Who knows...
