Most of Ruby's libraries are in gems rather than in distribution 
packages, and gems don't seem to work well as distribution packages.

JRuby is pretty mature and fast now. And if you want .Net there's 
IronRuby too.

It's true that Rails has driven the rise of Ruby, but personally after 
being part of that wave I'm more impressed with Ruby than with Rails.
