Maybe some want to overrate the differences between Rails and Ruby that might not even exist, almost my guess. So, no, I'm not terribly worried.

Yeah and OTOH if they are not interested in languages per se they should remain with the framework anyway, but sure enough there are people interested in the "language" and not well informed enough about the "StandAloneNess" of Ruby, which as a matter of fact fuelled my concern. But those are a > whole different kind of problem. Thx for sharing your thoughts.
