To Ruby or not to Ruby
Why wouldn't you just keep it consistent and use PHP?
I know that this is a difficult question to answer, but I thought I would try anwyays....
I am just starting at a new company where they have a minimal existing code base.  It probably has a month of man effort invested at this point. It is currently written in Ruby.  
It is also currently using Ruby on Rails -- but mostly just for the sake of testing out the Ruby code. 
The ultimate goal of the code is actually to drive a backend to a site that will be written in php (could be a backend to Drupal, Echo, etc...).  
I have no experience with Ruby, so I would tend to want to go with a language I know better (like Python), but am not willing to rule Ruby out for no reason.
If you are not going to use Ruby for a Rails project, is it still worth it?  Will I be better off going with Python or some other language?
How do the libraries stack up?
Thanks!!!
