Is Ruby Faster to Develop than PHP?
Yes (What 5 people did in a year, I did in a week)

Can I make my Rails App Faster than the "old" PHP APP?
Yes

Is Ruby the bottleneck?
No

Can I learn new things in ruby fast?
Yes

Can I get them into Production fast?
Yes

Can I scale applications to support billion dollar Multi-national
companies?
Yes

I know a dozen languges(Of the computer type), a kernel hacker, device
driver writer,
and a embedded systems developer. I can  make ruby stand up and shout,
and I can do it
with a hour a day.

After having 5 man years into a PHP project, we scrapped it, and I
recoded it in rails
in no time at all, by myself.
