The problem with your question is that we have no idea why you think 
that Ruby is not suitable for production. How is the quality of the VM 
lacking?

Ruby is used in production, there are big, well used systems written in 
Ruby. Which all goes to make you sound like a troll and would account 
for people ignoring you.
