The lion's share of my income comes from work that I do for a Fortune 500 
company, and it is all implemented in Ruby.  Whether this is important or 
not, though, I think is in the eye of the beholder.  I do the work on a 
contract basis, and provide services on a contract basis, and the companies 
that I work for don't seem to care much how their projects are implemented, 
so long as they come in on time and on budget, with the feature set 
requested.  And using Ruby lets me accomplish this in very competetive 
timeframes.
