I'm from Australia, and (based on the job ads I see - I just did a quick search on job site seek.com.au - "ruby" returned nearly 300 results, "asp.net" returned > 700, and having worked here for 10 years) Microsoft is the dominant development paradigm, so I don't think the condescending notion of the parent "this is a GLOBAL thing you yanks wouldn't understand" works either.
