Ben, I didn't know you were a Ruby fan... After working in C# with Peter I'd say that's is a pretty good choice. Sort of like Java but you can get closer to the metal where needed quite easily.
For my project we are using Ruby and C. Almost all the code can be in high level Ruby which is very fast to code and modify, and then the few parts of the code that consume 99.9% of the CPU time get converted into C and carefully optimised.
