Ruby is not anywhere near the same ballpark in terms of the widespread (ir)rational disregard of running anything PHP... especially on our dear-to-heart hand-crafted linux systems... in terms of both security, maintainability, and also the general perception of poor code quality of these OSS projects.<p>While Ruby might not be well respected among the experienced and snobbish elite programmer class, it hardly instills anything close to the negative reactions that PHP has managed to cultivate over the years.
