Think this way,
        
         People who decide (mostly managers) which language use on large 
app,
         (usually made for middle/big size companies) are guys around 
40/50  years old
         which grown on the age of compiled languages .
       
         For a large app, you need experienced programmers [ some 
companies ask for 10 years of experience
         on.. for example C  ], hard to find for ruby.

         
            Of one thing I'm sure rubyist are more focused on other 
things than write
            large app.......is like mmmm

             I got it....(I love to use this one ...)

             "Language shapes the way we think and determines what we 
can think about."
           -- Benjamin Lee Whorf

               When programming ruby you become a philosopher and 
philosophers
                are not worried about writing large app.

                      include philosophy
                end
