Subject: Full Lifecyle Prototypes

If Ruby is 2-6X more productive then Java, wouldn't it make sense for 
almost all software projects to use full lifecycle prototypes? That is, 
everything is built in Ruby, completely, and this forms a key part of 
the specification and requirements feedback for the lagging J2EE /etc.  
commerical implementation? Are there any cases of this being attempted 
and are there industry learning/best practices in this regard?
