Diaspora is actually looking pretty good, I'm pleasantly surprised but am I the only one a little disappointed that they made it with Ruby? Probably. But looking through that jungle of code I wonder how far along they'd be if they had used Drupal and let that army of developers contribute with separate modules.

I'd love to tinker with it but I know whatever I do will probably break it when they update their code.

I wish it was Python, but am rather glad it's not PHP. Ruby is a perfectly reasonable choice, even though it's not the same horse I backed.

What's wrong with Ruby? It's a great language.
