There's definitely potential in the language, but it currently it lacks a few libraries that other languages have, the documentation for other libraries is shaky, and Rails doesn't handle load as well as other options. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if all these are solved in a few years.
2007 ;). Maybe it was just the SFTP gem I was using (which, on taking a look, has been rewritten since). It was rather horrid and I ended up using perl for what I wanted to do.
Don't get me wrong though, I do love OO and Ruby, but it's early days in terms of a programming language.
