Why do people cheering for new web technologies like to spread FUD against Ruby/Rails?
From the article, Ruby developers are assholes, Rails doesn't scale (for an umpteen time) and Ruby has high barrier of entry compared to Javascript (I don't know what does this even mean).
Perhaps it's because FUD drives involvement by creating division. Humans seem to love to disagree so building up an article based on random unprovable opinions usually gets people riled up and responding. It's link bait, essentially.
I haven't used node.js yet, so I can't speak for or against it. If I find a use for it I'll probably give it a try. If it doesn't feel right I can always use EventMachine in Ruby, use Erlang, Python or whatever else makes sense.
