Because they do not want to learn new languages and can stay in their comfort zone 3. Because they think it's still 2005 and nobody cares about slow server response times And now Ruby lovers, click on downvote or give your reasons why you still use Ruby…

#16I guess, Rubinius is no longer relevant? I remember it was a very promising project back in 2008.
